What are my job prospects as an x-ray technician?
Favorable. Employment of radiological technologists with x-ray training is expected to increase from 20 to 35 percent through 2012, reports the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Salary and benefit packages also should improve as employers attempt to retain qualified radiographers. Today’s national median salary for x-ray technicians is more than $58,000, according to the ASRT.
