What You Will Be Paid

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.

An Introduction:

My name is Dan. I've been attending classes in the Radiography program at my local community college. I have had some good success in my schooling as well as some struggles. Now that I am nearing the completion of the program I realize that there is a lot I wish I knew when starting out. With that said I would like to share some of the more practical things that I have picked up along the way and hopefully it will benefit my readers.

Some of the content that I intend on sharing include:

• Wages to expect
• Financial aid
• Clinical challenges
• Useful links
• Questions and Answers (replies to yours)
• And more....

So if your interested in pursuing X-Ray as a carreer stay tuned. If you are an experienced technologist please feel free to share your knowledge and correct any of my misinformation.
