Hi all! I am considering going back to school for a 2 yr Rad Tech program. I have been out of school and working in finance for 15 years. Finance is a career that I sort of fell into after obtaining a liberal arts degree. While I am thankful for my career and it has paid my bills, for a variety of reasons it has left me unfulfilled and wanting to make a career change for the 2nd half of my working life.
After doing some soul searching, I feel that Rad Tech would be a fit for me - in that it is meaningful work, working with technology, learning hard skills, and helping people. The research I’ve done also points towards it being a stable career with job prospects.
Needless to say, I’m somewhat nervous about leaving my current position to go back to school during this crazy economic time. Am I crazy for wanting to do this? For you all that are Rad Techs - what has been your experience? What do you enjoy about your career and what do you struggle with? For anyone that has made a 2nd half career switch into Rad Tech - what has your experience been?
Excuse the plethora of questions- I’m just really hoping to gain some perspective and advice!
