"You're your only obstacle"......That's seriously some of the best advice I've ever heard. Wow-I just feel so much more encouraged to go on and do this! :) Thank you so much!

Was it worth becoming a radiologist and was it very competive. Such as when you first got out of school did you find a job right away or did it take a year.

Thanks for reading.

[iGatorNation]

I've wanted to become a Radiologic Technologist for awhile but recently I've relized that i think i really do want to be a radiologist. You only live once so why not go for the big home run? I understand it's alot of schooling. Im not a A+ student but i will try the hardest i can to become what i want to be.

im confused sort of... I am starting school for radiology tech. I will have my AA degree so with that what else would i need to do to become a radiologist???

wtf, just do it... unless you want to retire at your local wal-mart, move into a crappy nursing home because you never made enough money for a decent savings, and hope that your children (whom you may have ignored because you were working over-time to put food on the table in your "drug-infested low income neighborhood" apartment)... hope that your children survive a hard-knock life.... no one can afford for YOU to be a slacker..
