If i want to be an X-ray tech, how long do i have to go to school for? how much does it pay?

Answer 1

You can go to school for as little as 2 years full time (generally 40 hours per week). After you graduate from an accredited school, you take the national registry exam. Salary varies a lot: http://asrt.org/content/rts/surveyresults/wageandsalarysurvey/wagesalsurvey2007.aspx

Answer 2

The program is less than 2 years, including time working at a hospital for your clinical experience. You do not need to get the Associate's degree to take the certification exam. However, it is only a few more classes and then you will also have a degree.
