Sorry sister hazel, but radiology is very safe.
I suggest the asker spends a couple of days job shadowing in both areas to get a better idea of what the jobs consist of.

If I were you I would try to get in touch with some students that are currently in each of these programs. Ask them questions and see how they like the choice they have made. You could also see if the school has anyone who can give you some pointers that has recently graduated.
I think that they are both very good choices and have a tremendous potential. I actually considered both of these areas before making my choice.
Good Luck.

Radiology is sweet in case you do in comparison to somewhat some palms on including your sufferers, via fact a therapist would be somewhat some palms on .. people who're nurses and hate their jobs could get out of it. yet somebody hating what they do vs. the place they paintings is a huge difference ... good success!

As a professional patient- I would go with respiratory- fewer long term risks.
Choose one now- it doesn't mean you have to live it for the rest of your life.
The more you're around the profession, the more you'll find your niche'.
The most important thing is you must enjoy what you're doing because the people you are tending to deserve 100% effort and kindness.
Good luck. God bless. Love you!

AVOID RESPIRATORY THERAPY.........
shadow in x-ray dept for a day, then ask questions, you will find out that x-ray has more opportunities to advance to such as nuclear med-or-sonopgraphy. remember hospitals work nights/weekends/holidays. do you want that?
