On one hand, the 2008-2009 report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, says that the field is still growing faster than average, and is projected to do so for years. (http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos105.htm). Also, jobs in healthcare, including radiologic technology, are considered recession proof jobs. The population is getting older, the job requires specialized skills, and healthcare will be in demand regardless of income. But, when perusing the internet, I do see comments and discussion forums posted by many people in your shoes. You might try contacting CompHealth by clicking on the link at the end of my article right above the source. I hope they can help you. Hi Don,

Too many techs are unable to find jobs and the schools have not adjusted their levels down. Many techs, including our best, are considering career changes.
