Could Nuc Med be a reasonable choice if they teach CT?

[insearchofwisdom]

I know many people have cautioned against the idea of going into Nuc Med because jobs are hard to find and especially because they don't teach CT reading skills. If there are programs that DO teach CT reading skills, could this still be a path to consider or would you recommend steering clear? If so, please help me understand.
Thanks in advance.

Just do radiology residency. I say this as someone dual boarded.

Pure NM died once Cardiology took over the cash cow known as nuclear stress and hybrid imaging (PET/CT, SPECT/CT) became standard of care.
