one time i thought about being a nuclear physicist, along with a astronaught. O and once i wanted to be a super hero. But then i grew up and went to college and my goals and dreams have changed just a bit.

its acutally alot less school than some other medical jobs, my next door neighboors are both radiologists and they have a new z4, a huge tv and a bunch of other shit. but you probably shouldnt choose your job just because of the money, but it always helps to choose.

sounds like a good career, and for a while i was dead set on pharmacy and now im debating being an anesthesiologist (probably not the right spelling), but im not sure how long schooling is, for Pharmacy it's about 4-6 years which isn't bad.

I shadowed a neurologist around for a few weeks, and honestly, everyone in the hospital there and the one i work in now have a thing about radiologists. Prepare for a life of darkness looking at MRI slides...

Radiology pay is definitly not that high to begin with, and I don't even think it get that high. However they do get paid well and it seems like a prtty cool job, I've been thinking about going into it also, as I need to decide on colleges soon
