What is the point of having a BS in Radiography/Radiologic Science and other similar degrees?

Question

I'm in radiography school right now but I'm wondering about getting a B.S degree because I keep hearing that there is no pay difference. I don't want to waste my time getting a B.S if I could make more money getting a certificate in a specialization instead. I appreciate any input and information!! Thanks

It would be helpful if you wanted to go into management someday. It could also be required one day, instead of a certificate, so you might as well get it. That's what I'm doing - I'm taking online classes for my BAS. Go ahead and get trained in another modality, and get your degree later.
