I have been a MT for almost 8 years now. Took the course in 2001. I work full-time in-house for a hospital and part-time at home for a university. I think people need to stop expecting schools to find them jobs and do it themselves. I sent my resume to nearly every hospital in my home state and had alot of calls of interest. I narrowed it down to 5 and then weighed the pros and cons on them and decided.

I agree these companies who over-hire are a big problem. Making it look like there are tons of jobs out there and in reality there really are not anymore.

I did my research and found AHP to be a very good school for the money. I did not spend thousands for the same information. If you want to do that, hire on with a company that has their own training program and then work for them.

Good Luck newbies and for anyone else considering this career, think very carefully before you spend that money, can you do it? Some people love it and some don't. Don't spend money if you don't think you are going to like sore fingers, sore back, blurry eyes, cold fingers or anything else that comes with the job. You will not just be a stay-at-home mom right off the bat.

Please calm down. Minor MRI findings are usually accompanied by (sm)
the message, "Correlate with clinical history." Radiologists don't know the patient' history in detail. They are often noting findings that can't be interpreted without knowing the patient. That's why radiologists will so rarely talk to patients; they aren't your doctor and aren't able to match findings with symptoms and clinical findings. I suspect, but can't know, that your MRI is perfectly normal ... FOR YOU. Let your MD mull it all over. If he/she is not certain, he'll send you to a specialist.
