Thinking about switching to rad tech program

I’ve been taking prereqs for nursing some of which are also prereqs for the rad tech program at the community college I attend. I know that it’s very competitive but I don’t think there’s a waitlist because it’s mentioned that we have to apply every year. I don’t think I want to go into nursing I know that there’s a lot more opportunities but I just don’t see myself being a nurse. I think rad tech is a better fit I really enjoy anatomy. I also looked into sonography but I would have to wait longer for that since the only program near me opens once per year while the rad tech program open twice per year. I have a couple of questions but any advice is helpful. 1. Do you enjoy your career? What would you rate on a scale of 1-10? 2. What’s are your favorite and least favorite things about being a rad tech? 3. What kind of job do you have? Have you tried multiple modalities and which one was your favorite? 4. Is it a really saturated field or does it depend on where you live? 5. Do you regret your career choice? Would you pick something different if you could go back? 6. What’s your work life balance like? 7. I’m worried about the cancer risk is it a high risk or does it hold the same risk as someone getting an x ray done? (I’m pretty sure the risk is very low for someone who’s getting it done) I researched a bit but I only found old studies. 8. Do you think this career could be phased out by AI? It seems some believe it might but I don’t think that’s true I’d rather hear opinions directly from rad techs.

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.

Question regarding ultrasound

Hello radiologists, I have a quick question regarding ultrasounds of the scrotum. (Not asking for medical advice just wondering about something). I’ve done an ultrasound of the scrotum and the radiologist only took pictures of the right side of the testicle and then the left side but not in between so my question is, do ultrasounds show all “angles” of a testicle or does the device need to be held at various areas to show a full testicle? Because if only one side of the testicle is seen then wouldn’t the other side be as important in diagnosing something?
