Default Re: Advice on Career Investment

Hey Sweeps. Yes, Radiology Tech is interesting on paper, but I haven't got to shadow someone to actually see if it was something I definitely want to pursue. I totally agree about giving computers a fair shot first. That is part of what is stopping me from making quick decisions.

The idea of checking out the territory at the hospital and seeking out opportunities and open doors would be ideal as well. I am not volunteering yet. They said to fill out an app and they would have an orientation in sept. So I have a while yet. I've also been checking out college IT jobs thinking that if I'm working full time I could get free tuition to check out some of the classes and experience working in a hospital through the volunteering.

I was also wandering if I'm just a few medical classes away from something that would put me into a healthcare position that would use computers. For example, is there something like medical terminology that put with my technology background would tranisition me into healthcare? Maybe that isn't a question for this board, but if you know that'd be wonderful too.
