How much do X-Ray technicians make per hour?

Question

Also what type of education is needed?

Answer 1

Salary depends a lot on location. Here is the latest salary survey by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists:

You can complete school in as little as 2 years full time (40 hrs/week) at either a college or hospital program. You can find schools here: http://jrcert.org/cert/Search.jsp

Answer 2

I'm not sure about average salary of an x-ray tech otherwise known as a radiologic technician, however, here is a website that provides that info along with educational requirements and general working conditions for a particular field: US Occupational Outlook Handbook www.bls.gov/oco and can type into search 'x-ray technician' or 'radiology technician'.

I do know that 'technical' physics is needed for just about all x-ray tech programs. Some programs are offered thru the local community college or certain hospitals.

Answer 3

X-ray Technicians pay depends on which city they reside. Also women who are allowed by law to perform mammograms get paid slightly larger. My friend from high school went to school for this and makes $26.00 per hour *woman* in San Diego county. Most schools in any large city offer classes that can be free with financial aid. Good luck!

Answer 4

I think inbetween $15 - $20
