Pay Range in Austin, Texas

I'm thinking of relocating to Austin, Texas from California. But before I start submitting resumes, I would like to know what the pay scale is for a CRTT with 22 years experience. Can anyone advise from the Austin, TX area?

Thanks

CRTT's will find it difficult in the Austin area as many of the major hospitals no longer hire CRTT's. Also, there is currently a hiring freeze on at the two major networks (seton and St. Davids). Things change of course, but you might find getting a CRTT job in Austin rather difficult.....

I am trying to figure out which vocational school to take. I don't want to waste time or money in these hard economic times. I am strongly coinsidering respiratory therepist, but I can't seem to find out what how many positions are actually out there for this job. Any helpful responses?

Also, I will soon relocate to either Texas with my wife and child, so I would prefer to know what the job market looks like in Texas. Thanks.

To be an RRT you have to have either an Associate Degree or a Bachelor Degree in Respiratory. That's 3-4 years minimum of schooling (Associates are supposed to be 2 year programs but because of clinicals and extra requirements it almost always takes three years). You also have to be accepted into a program, which with this economy could be more challanging. Because almost everyone in the Baby Boomer generation is a smoker you can rest assured there will always be plenty of jobs, but markets may differ. But usually if you go into a program in a major metropolian area you get scooped up by a hospital before you even graduate.

If it's money, security, stability, flexibility, and income you are looking for, then an RN degree is much more marketable, especially for men. I also happen to have a degree in Gerontology so respiratory was a good fit for me.
