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?

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?
