thepermitman99 in Thousand Oaks, California

I am current trying to get into the program to be a Radiologic Technologist and am having a hard time getting in because all of the schools are either waitlisted for 2 plus years or do a lottery. I finished my prerequisites for 3 schools but didn't get in any.

I wanted to ask what are the best community college schools to obtain your associates degree in Radiologic Technologist (I know they should be accredited by JRCERT and one of the six accrediting bodies to take the ARRT exam).

I know Charles Drew University doesn't have a wait because it's a private school, does anyone know anything about that school?

Any feedback would be appreciated. I'm kind of annoyed that I have to wait another year to apply to the program.

My first question is why are you trying to get into radiology school? Consider yourself lucky. You think the wait list is long to get into school; wait until you finish school and have to wait 2+ yrs to find a job.

So it's a bad field to get into? I'm thinking either that or physical therapist assistant. And I hear it's bad but is there a market for anything right now?

The problem is that the healthcare field is not very stable right now. If you really want to get into healthcare look into anything other than radiology.

I have heard a lot of being PACS administrator on previous posts. I always that this would be a good idea but I would need to get Masters degree in IT in order to work in PACS. I have looked into many college and best option is to do it online. Does it matter where you do your Master? Does it have to be a top college? All masters level degree are expensive costing around 30-50K.

John you can get a Bachelors degree in IT and could get a job working in PACS, especially if you are already an RT. A Masters in IT is like icing on the cake. Also, online programs are OK but it's always better to go to a traditioinal brick and mortar school. Nothing can replace interacting with your professors in a classroom environment. It provides a lot of advantages that an online program can't give you. If you already have a bachelors degree in some other field then you should go for your Masters degree. Most masters degree IT programs offer night classes.

Attending a local state university or college could mean significant cost savings for your degree. Check to see if your current employer offers some sort of tuition reimbursement.
