Never go in to x-ray-the "colleges" or "scammers" as I prefer to call them-are hunting potential students liike coyotes hunt the little dogs!! LOL!! Still looking though-I did x-ray for 30 years untill I got laid-off.Applied at St. Vincents's Heart center-don't hink I will get it though. I love indiana much more than Illinois,but after 4 years of searching for anx-ray job....giving up-again!!!

X-ray jobs are few and far between here in the Indy area. There are too many x-ray schools here that crank out new crops of x-ray techs every year. After investing years in education many new techs have to move to find a job.

To make the situation worse hospitals often hire techs PRN, so no benefits or job security. And the pay is low compared to Illinois.

I have several friends who are x-ray techs and all are working at hospitals or clinics in smaller towns that are too far away to commute from Indy. I am an X-ray tech too although I have other certifications as well which make me more employable.

I wish you the best in your search.
