My dilemma

Hello everyone,

I am seeking advice in my current situation and I have a few questions for you all. I am a 25 year old male, who is halfway through my degree in BA with focus on Marketing. I have worked for Travelers Ins. for over 7 years (since I was 17) and shortly I will be laid off . To be terse, I have realized that I really do not want to continue studying Marketing. I was hoping to obtain a MA in Radiology and become a Radiologist Assistant. But, I have three questions before I change my major:

1. Is the market over saturated with people who are studying to become a radiological technologist ? I.E. is the demand enough to maintain employment of graduates?

2. I know to become a Radiologist Assistant, you must have enough experience as a tech, is the pursuit of higher education worth it?

3. Is there any other medical assistant jobs worth looking into? My uncle is an Anesthesiologist. He told me they need assistants as well. Is that a worthy pursuit?




Thank you all in advance. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Jason

You're questions are important and should be answered in an appropriate forum. Consider going to auntminnie.com and look in the technologist forum. Good luck.
