Tell me about the field!

Hello all!

I am considering a career switch to rad tech - I'm 30, working in electronic research, and BORED. I've been thinking of rad tech for a few years now, and recently went to an open house at a local college offering the program and now I'm seriously considering it. What can you tell me about it? Why did you enter the field? What do you love? What do you hate? If you're working, what's your salary like (if you don't mind saying. I can't seem to find any stats on salary range)?

I'd love to hear anything you want to tell me before I take the step of applying to the program.

Thanks!
