Radiologic Technician?

Question

What do you know about this job? Do you have to go to school for a long time? Can you go to community college? Is there one in Indiana near Lafayette? What kind of salary do they make? Tell me everything you know about it.

Answer 1

The correct title is radiologic technologist (technician is demeaning).

After prerequisites, school is generally 2 years full time (40 hours/week).

Salary varies by location, but the average in Indiana is $42,000-$46,000: https://www.asrt.org/media/pdf/research/wss2007/wss07annualcompensation.pdf
