Should I stay or transfer?

<p>I'm currently finishing up my Sophomore year. I've been taking various courses with an undeclared major and it's about that time where I make my decision. I decided to be a Radiologic Technologist, however, my school does not offer this program anymore. I would have to transfer to a CC to attain an Associates and Bachelors. </p>

<p>I just need some advice before making my final decision. Should I stay at my University and find a major to work with or transfer to a CC where this degree is offered?</p>

<p>I've never attended a CC before in my life. I don't look down on CC's becuase that's where some of the most successful people get their education from. I just want to know how is it like to attend a CC?</p>

<p>Also, it is noted on several websites that the job outlook for Radiologic Technologist will be growing steadily, but I'm really afraid of not being able to find a job out of school because I read on Indeed about how some people are jobless after attaining their rad tech degree and I would hate to be in that position. Does anyone have reliable information about this job?</p>

<p>Anyways, some insight would be appreciated. Thanks!</p>

<p>Check to see how easily your current school will readmit you later (and with financial aid, if needed) if you withdraw (completing all of the paperwork, not just dropping out without notice), and then attend the community college. If they will readmit you later automatically or easily, then there is somewhat less academic risk to going to the community college for radiology, in that you can return to your current school to finish a bachelor’s degree in something else if you decide that radiology is not for you.</p>

<p>Another option is to complete a bachelor’s degree in something you like at your current school, and then go to community college for radiology if job and career prospects with your bachelor’s degree are unsatisfying. This may be more of an option if you see radiology as a backup plan than as your primary goal.</p>

<p>Some community colleges are heavily impacted, so getting into popular courses (particularly the first course in a sequence) can be very difficult (be ready to sign up as soon as the schedule opens, etc.).</p>
