One of my greatest misconceptions about X-ray was the pay. It was much less than I had heard. Then again looking back my sources were not too reliable - heresay more or less. So let me be your reliable source and clear any confusion. The bottom line is that as a fresh graduate of an X-ray program you will likely start out anywhere between $15 - $17 dollars an hour. Some of the exceptions to this would involve receiving shift differential for working the evening or night shift which could raise that $2-$3 depending on your location. In some areas sign on bonuses are still common. Of course there are a number of variables that could either raise or lower these figures but at least they put you in the ball park.

heh, come to Canada - the starting salary at a big hospital in Toronto is anywhere from $26 - $30 /hr
Or come to Oregon--or not, I need a job! Starting at a hospital is $20-$21 with most clinics being $18-$19.
