Finished 1st year as rad tech and not sure I am suited for this

Hello, I am studying radiologic technology to become rad tech. It's bachelors degree (in my country, you have to have bcs). So I finished first year. I've also done around 400 hours in hospital as student. I worked at a classic x-ray, CT, MRI, mamography, densitometry and even at surgery. But I can't help and find it.... Really boring. There are days, when it goes by really fast and that's fun, but often, it goes by really slowly, sometimes not even 1 patient in houlf an hour. I always count the minutes when i can leave. It's just sitting around and I read book or surf the internet. Is it worth finishing this major, or should I switch to something else? Does it get better? After all those lessons spent at school and at hospital, I honestly feel burn out and the thought that i would have to do this job for another 40 years scares me. But at the same time i am scared of quitting, because what if the other option doesn't work out and i am left with nothing. Does anyone have any positive outlook to share?

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.

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.
