X-ray Tech

How does that not make sense. Not everyone on the siccness is from the bay. So he wants to know if anyone from the bay is an x-ray tech.
On topic what type of schools you looking at? I'm sure they all say they're the best but I'm just curious. Sounds like a pretty good profession.
I'm trying to go back to school too, but I'm probably gonna settle for Delta, just not too sure on what I want to do right now.

Its a pretty good profession.
School is about 2.5 years long, well the program is.
Prerequisites will probably take you about 1.5-2 years, if you go full time.
Starting pay is around 27-35 an hour. Pretty good, for being fresh out of school. Obviously, the more experience and certifications you get the more money you can make.
The job itself is cake though ! No dirty work, depending on which field of radiology you get in to.
Kaiser Permanente has programs that are expensive (around 14K) and really competitive, as far as getting in. Mills-Peninsula has a program as well.
Most of these programs are impacted though, so plan on either being on a waiting list for a couple of years (after you complete the prerequisites) or paying to get into a private school.
Your best bet is a community college.
Start off by taking some basic biology courses:
Anatomy
Physiology
Chemistry

my lady is in school right now for a x-ray tech...bout to be done makin paper in august...goes to merrit college in oakland...two year program but had to take other classes at a jc to even qualify for the program...she interviewed for the program at kaiser richmond twice but didnt get accepted....first year of program mostly book work...second year alot of internship at local hospitals...
I graduated from the kaiser school (kpsahs) In Richmond last September and am now getting paid 40/hr posting from the iphone. All the schools (foothill, Canada, merritt, sf city, kaiser) are competitive and demanding. Kaiser is expensive compared to the jc's tho, i owe $10,000 student loan right now.
Definetly take all the prereqs and do research, also try and get good letters of recomendation (doctors) as well.
It's a good job tho, alotta cool people and good job security, healthcare is real good in this economy.
I know there was another rad tech on the siccness that works at kaiser Richmond (Csider?).

medical schools and city colleges. x-ray techs do jack shit and get anywhere from $75,000-$90,000 a year. and if u work for kaiser its more, with free medical beneifets for the fam and u and they pay for additional schooling
