I was accepted tp two schools here in Georgia , Grady and Gwinnett, and had to turn them down because I couldn't find a part-time job that was evening or night. I know that it is not encouraged to work during the program, but I have no other financial or family support, so I have to work. Right now, I am looking at other options so I can enroll again. The manager of the program stated that most people had parttime jobs that they kept when they entered school. What type of jobs can you do? I have no healthcare experience.

You are lucky to get in to either program. It is so competitive. I am also trying to get into a radiography program and need to work also. I went and took some CNA and PCT courses so that I could work at night. The CNA course is cheap and doesnt take long, the only downside is that it doesnt pay too much. Maybe that will help you, although it has been hard for me to get a night job still and have been applying for months. Good luck to you and I hope you can still get in again!

This forum has gotten way off topic by someone trying to promote their BS.
The fact is, Xray school is a "members only" field. Firstly, They practice the worst kind of discrimination available to them that is legally compliant. The background check and interview is a good indication. Secondly, the hospitals have the schools in their back pocket. They're the ones that actually run the schools and hand pick the "privledged" few that get accepted. They're looking for people that are willing to get through the program(Pay for it) and put up with their unlawful hazing practices which they start employing after you've invested time and money. They figure, if your stupid enough to stay in an put up with all this adversity then they have narrowed the field to "potential" employees. If you don't get a job upon graduation, then chances are you did, said or behaved in a way that you've been blacklisted. Do you really want to pay thousands of dollars to be blacklisted? This field is so corrupt that it's sickening. It abuses the inherent trust and goodwill in people looking to have a fulfilling career and reduces it to a money making scheme for the schools, hospitals and publishers of the "chosen" people.
