I have always wanted to become a doctor but never really had the confidence to do so. It was not until I met a very dear friend in the hospital chaplaincy that I realized “I can do this,” and I have been working as a medical assistant since.
I’m not sure what the financial benefits of this are but I have to say that over the last few years I have earned $250-300 per ultrasound tech shift. But why pay so much when you can get a pretty nice, cushy salary as a medical assistant? Well, that’s a tough question to answer because the pay is not really a factor in my decision.
Well, after a long search I found I had several choices for the first step. My first choice was ultrasound tech, so I went to a reputable ultrasound tech school in Florida. I had been having a difficult time finding a decent school to attend since I live near a major airport, so I was looking for something close to home. I found the school I wanted in a short period of time. I started working at the hospital in August, and I love what I do.
For a while I was an ultrasound tech, but I moved into a more specialized position, and now I work with an ultrasound company in New York City. I like the freedom and flexibility that my job gives me. I have the flexibility to work a couple of days a week and I really love the idea of being a freelancer.
I think a lot of people think they’re going to be a nurse in the future. I think that’s the path we’re going to take. I’m actually a surgeon now, but I love to be in charge of other people’s lives. I like to be the guy who makes the decisions, and I think the people who are in charge of my life are going to be the people I love to spend the rest of my life with.
When you think about it, ultrasound techs are in the position that they are, as healthcare workers. They are in a position where their jobs are very important, but they aren’t very interesting. They’re not trying to make a living while doing something they love; they’re just doing it. I think ultrasound techs should feel that way too. They should be able to have the flexibility to do what they want, to work a few days a week, and love it.
In the past, ultrasound techs have been paid on a piece of paper. What if it was your life? Ultrasound techs should be able to make the choice to work the hours they want, as long as they are doing the job that they love.
This new video is made by the same folks that made the new trailer, the same folks that created the new video: Ultrasoundtech.com.
It’s not clear if this new video is a new job or just a different job of the same type. But it does appear that the majority of the people involved in the video are ultrasonics. Like me, they are excited about the fact that they can’t be paid by a piece of paper.
If you’re like me, and you like to think you’re making a decent living out of this job, you might be pleasantly surprised to find out that there are many jobs that are actually a lot better than a piece of paper. The video below is a great example of how to make a decent living in the ultrasound tech field.
