A radiologist is a doctor who specializes in creating and interpreting images inside the human body, either by x-rays, sound waves, MRI’s, CT Scans, etc. He/she is trained to read/interpret these images in hospitals, clinics, labs, offices…and yep, the pay is good.

You could also be an X-ray technician and actually take the images for the radiologist to read. A friend of mine is a tech and she makes a good living. As for the hours she works, she is on staff at a local hospital and works from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

Either profession is a good one…of course, to become a radiologist means you’d have to go to med school, but there are excellent shorter term programs for those who just want to be techs.

Good luck to you!
