Career choice question: Radiology Tech/X-Ray Tech or Pharmaceutical Sales?

The question is this, which one do you think, in your humble opinion, has a better career path in terms of security and salary and enjoyment?

And please explain why? Thank you!

    I’m an x-ray tech and I love it. I’ve never had a problem finding a job…in fact I decided to make a location change to Chicago recently, and found a job immediately. Plus, being an x-ray tech you have many options to move forward. This includes MRI tech, CT tech, Interventional, Management, Cath Lab, etc. You can always move forward and always keep things interesting.
    Now, I don’t know much about Pharmaceutical Sales, but I am pretty sure that you would make more money starting out. However, in my opinion, the repitition would get boring and not having other options to move up could make you feel trapped at times. Just a thought!!
