What are the requirements for me to become an ultrasound technician ?

I’m 16 years old right now, and i’m trying to see if there’s anyway i could start my path to becoming an ultrasound technician already. I’m trying to move out soon and start on my own and I learned that you can be an ultrasound tech with a GED, is this true ? I need to know because in that case i would quit school so i can get a temporary job now. Do you know of any better ways i can start preparing to become an ultrasound tech? I need to speed things up & btw I would like to be a prenatal ultrasound tech.

    Most Sonography programs are 2 year associate’s degrees at technical colleges. So it will depend on the entrance requirements to the colleges in your area that have Sonography programs.

    Here’s the link to find accredited Sonography programs. Once you find one, you can contact the school and get specific information on whether a GED is acceptable or not.
