    Can you make a video sharing your experience on travel contracts? How do you get one? What kind of pay bumps did you see? what are the benefits/drawbacks? What kind of places can you work?
    Really appreciate the videos!

    Hello, found your channel on recommended. Is it worth it getting a bachelors in radiography or is an associate degree is sufficient?

      @@jonathanrolle5118 associates is sufficient. You can start working as an xray tech and cross train into other modalities as well. Most xray techs don’t ever get a bachelors.
      BUT if you wanted to get into management/administration, teach or other types of roles like that down the road, a bachelors degree may be required. At that point, you can get your bachelors online while working and most hospitals have some type of tuition reimbursement for furthering education.

    I have never heard of the required continuing education credits.. is this something nationwide or depends on what state you’re in? I plan to apply to X-ray school next month and was just curious about this

      @@libbythorntonmusic Good question. This is nationwide. When you graduate school and pass your test, you’ll be credentialed by the ARRT (radiology credentialing body).
      To maintain your license, you’ll have to do those 24 continuing eds. This is similar to many other health professions as well.
      States require their own licenses to work in, which can be confusing, but that usually just entails filling out a document and paying a fee, then you’re licensed by that state.

      Continuing education is basically keeping your license up to date, I'm a cna, and we have educational lessons every now and then, and then every 2 years, we're recertified not really something to worry about.

      @@sohi8029 that’s tough, it is a good salary for a 2 year degree. I made another video going over median salaries in the USA but you’d be looking at around 70k or so median, but there are a lot of factors involved and ways to make much more than that.
      But overall, that decision is up to you and your standards. Personally, I think it’s a good career and offers plenty of opportunity
