RN, Radiology Technician or Respiratory Therapist salary in houston area?

I am finally about to enter college. I have decided on the medical field since its in such high demand. I have it narrowed down to 3 careers RN, Radiology Technician or Respiratory Technician. Are there anyone out here employed or has been employed within these careers pros & cons? Did alot of research online however I would rather get a individuals experience. Thanks!

    A medical job is always worth considering, from nurses and surgeons right down to hospital cleaning staff. The site in the box below has some superb guidance on joining this laudable line of work. My brother got some superb guidance from there before getting a job as a medical admin assistant.

    The correct title is Radiologic Technologist (“technician” is demeaning), and there aren’t any jobs because the schools are putting out too many graduates.
