    As a current Radiologic Technologist I would recommend you take the Radiography course. Reason being, it’s an entry level profession which means that although the material may seem difficult in the beginning, you will quickly develop an understanding of it because all of the subjects contained in the study of Radiography are directly related to one another.Then once you’ve completed the course and have successfully completed the registry you can be cross trained for other modalities like computed tomography, MRI, or even MAMMO, which are all in high demand and offer competitive salaries. Especially Mammo techs, They are offering grads $45/hr right out school. Whereas Radiation Therapy is not in demand. Nuclear Medicine may be to great a challenge for someone who has not been in school for awhile and takes longer to complete if you decide to go directly into nuclear medicine without first completing general radiography. Whatever institution you choose to attend just make certain that they are Accredited, preferably by the Joint Review Commitee on Education in Radiologic Technology(JRCERT) To find the average salary for the profession searh http://www.salarywizard.com and enter you geographics and the site will provide you with the most current information.

    Hope this helps
