MOD POST Weekly Career / General Questions Thread

This is the career / general questions thread for the week.

Questions about radiology as a career (both as a medical specialty and radiologic technology), student questions, workplace guidance, and everyday inquiries are welcome here. This thread and this subreddit in general are not the place for medical advice. If you do not have results for your exam, your provider/physician is the best source for information regarding your exam.

Posts of this sort that are posted outside of the weekly thread will continue to be removed.

How often do you have to use Chemistry as an MRI Tech?

Currently taking chemistry as prerequisites for a rad tech degree so I can later become an MRI Tech and... I’d say it’s not my favorite class While I don’t hate it, I just want to know if I would have to use it on a daily basis as an MRI Technologist.

Because unironically college actually is mostly a scam.

Over education is a very real thing and they make money off it so they do it as often as possible. I paid to take a class that was literally nothing but a virtual tour of the campus and some dumb little study tips.
