Sometimes doctors need to look inside your body and see what ticks. Happily, they can do that without actually cutting you open. MRIs, X-rays, and CAT scans do the work for them, and these powerful machines need technologists to operate all the tech. In this career, you’ll explain to your patients the procedure you’re doing, make them feel comfortable, use the machines, generate reports, and consult with the radiologists (a.k.a. your supervisor) on your findings. This is a booming field, as there are expected to be 61,000 new radiological technician jobs over the next decade. And all it takes is a two-year degree to get yourself on the inside of this in-demand career.
