Is radiology technology really for me?

Hey guys,

I am 18 years old, and I just finished my first semester in my Diagnostic Imaging program. I did well, but honestly I was miserable in it. I feel like I have the ability to do it, but I really don't think that I will like this as a career. I went into it because I knew it was possible to find part time work, and it pays decently. Now I feel like I made a mistake. However, I don't even know what else I would like to pursue. I feel like I don't know what I want. Also, I am more of an introverted person, so speaking to people all the time really doesn't appeal to me, and I thought this would be a "clean" career, but after leaning about it, surprise surprise, it isn't.

I don't really know what I am asking...but I guess I'm trying to figure out if it gets better? Or if I hate it now, should I probably just leave and not waste anymore time because it gets worse?

Also, I keep on thinking that this is a "you're guaranteed a job" after you graduate kind of profession, but is that truly the case? I live near Montreal.

One more thing, what other things other than working in a hospital can you do with a degree in this? I feel like it's mainly hospital work, which is pretty discouraging.
