I'm currently a student in my community college studying Radiologic Technology. I hear from others that it's hard to get a job nowadays due to schools graduating too many students. Is it true that it's hard to get a job as a Radiologic Technologist nowadays? If so, will it get better in 2-3 years? Should I major in something else? Radiologic Technology is something I am passionate about and I'm strongly considering of specializing in MRI as my modality after getting my licenses. On the positive side, my mother is in the field, but even though I have connections, I don't want to graduate and end up not finding a job.
