An ultrasound tech is an exciting career choice filled with the reward of patient interaction. Not to mention, a starting salary for someone who has less than one year’s worth of experience is nearly $40,000 in some areas. Because the job entails a wide variety of responsibilities, there’s never a dull moment.
You aren’t stuck behind a desk.
You are always on the go. Either helping patients or moving equipment….never a dull moment.
You Improve Other People’s Lives
Your job may help to eliminate unnecessary surgery or help facilitate more accurate surgery.
You Get to be Part of the Medical Field Without Dealing With All the Gross Stuff.
Forget the blood, guts and gore associated with many professions in the medical field. The guts stay on the inside for this career.
Much Less Paperwork than Other Aspects of the Medical Field
Nurse jobs consist of a lot of paperwork. However, unless you work your way up to office management, you’re not swamped with paperwork every day as an ultrasound tech.
There is Good Job Growth Potential
The need for ultrasound technicians is expected to grow over the next 10 years.
Starting Salaries are Great
Ultrasound technicians with less than 1 year experience earn an average salary of $40,000, while lead ultrasound technicians can earn up to $60,000.
