My entire life I have wanted to be a pediatrician. Now, in my first year of college as a Biology major, I am not sure. I have been looking into sonography but am afraid to make a decision either way. Could you give me some pros and cons of both jobs to help my decision? Please only from someone who has worked in one of these professions.

I was wondering if there are good job opportunities for a position as a ultrasonographer directly out of school. I will be looking for an entry level position right? Or do they all require that you at least have 1-2 years clinical experience? I guess what Im asking is what is the process after you get out of school with degree and certificate in hand to obtain a position as a diagnostic medical sonographer?? Thanks!

My husband is military, so I dont need the benefits. ALSO, is there any place that I can get certified or liscensed in less that two years?

The school I'm looking at has radiography science degree for radiologic technologists and then afterwards you can get into a sonography program for an advanced certificate. They also have a bachelor's degree for sonography. If you can't tell, I really want to be a sonographer! I just don't know which route to take, would I be more valuable to a future employer to get a radiography degree first or does it matter? Thanks for any advice!
