Question:
X-Ray tech schools?
I am looking to get certified as an X-Ray tech, I already have my BA in Journalism, but am looking for a new career path. What are some good schools? Online or in person. Also, any other information would be appreciated; pay, training time, job placement, cost of certificate. Thanks!
Answer:
You cannot become a radiologic technologist online. You can find accredited schools here: http://jrcert.org/cert/search.jsp... Choose radiography for type of program and select your state, then search. Where do you live?
School is generally 2 years full time (40 hours per week). After you have graduated from an accredited school, you are eligible to sit for the national registry exam (see http://arrt.org/ )

Your degree should be a non-issue as far as getting accepted into a program. You should have fewer prerequisites to take though
