well i like ultrasound but it also alot of wear and tear on your wrist so i would not stay in ultrasound more that five years.you would want to get training in another field like mri or x-ray.
now dental hygienist has longevity is also a rising field. but your going to be looking in peoples mouth's all day.and not every office is going to pay the same.
