Zero college education but interested in becoming an Xray tech!

I am 30 yrs old, have worked dead end jobs since I was 15 years old and now permanently losing my last job during the pandemic I want to make sure my next move is good for my future. I've read the pros&cons from xray techs and it still sounds like it's for me & that it will be a stable long term well paying job. My problem is I've never been to college and I only have a GED, did not get my HS diploma. Is it still possible for me to quickly become an xray tech? How long does it take? What exact certification should I be going to school for, how does the chain of positions go? How much does it cost for the certification or degrees? I am discouraged because of my age as well as my education. Any information & tips is EXTREMELY appreciated!!!

Onetonline salary search change?

Did this change? I am having a hard time finding the same lists I saw 2 months ago. https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/29-2034.00#AdditionalInformation https://www.onetonline.org/link/localwages/29-2034.00?st=OR&p=hourly I used to be able to see wage by area and sort it by state and see the differences per state and per city in every state. I can't seem to find this same list anymore. I can see a bell curve but I can't sort by state or wage or anything.

Radiology program

I’m from New York looking to attend a Rad tech program. I work for Northwell and recently came across a flyer for John Patrick University. it is an online AS program with clinicals in person (which my job will allow me to do) It seems as if this program is not accredited by JCERT but the school is accredited by ACCSC. I reached out to the director of the school and also the arrt and they say that there would be no issue taking boards. I haven’t really heard of anyone going through online program so I wanted to make sure everything checks out. Since this was being advertised at work I couldn’t see why they would put something that wouldn’t be accepted out.
