<p>My husband is a radiologist and at least a few years ago he said there was a shortage of US techs and that the salary was quite good. You may need to put in a few years doing call, which may affect where you live (you can’t live farther than a certain distance from the hospital) and your hours (night call/weekends). If you can get an outpatient-only job then that won’t be necessary.</p>
