Clerical specialist - MRI - good preparation for pursuing rad tech?

I am really interested in pursuing a career as a radiology technologist (likely focusing on MRI in the future, after ARRT) and have been researching programs in the PNW. I am starting by taking two of the prerequisite classes required for admission to the programs at my local community college while also working FT at my (completely unrelated) non-profit job.

Today however, I found a job listing at a local hospital for a “Clerical Specialist” in the MRI department. It doesn’t require much for experience, other than office experience and HS diploma, which I have.

My question is: Should I consider going for this job while I continue to knock out my pre reqs (which is going to take me at least another year)? Would this job give me any sort of leg up in getting accepted to RT programs down the line, or should I continue to work at my current job (which probably offers more flexibility overall than the clerical specialist job) and focus on getting my pre requisites knocked out?

Any advice from others would be greatly appreciated!

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?
