That is what ALL of the schools tell you about ALL of their programs... Unfortunately I was "suckered" in to their crap. They told me that there were LOTS of Surgical Tech jobs available and such. They never tell you that you need at least 2 years of experience at most jobs. Now, most hospitals are asking for certification (which I dont' have, missed it by like literally a couple of points) and only in California. IF I had a guaranteed job offer anywhere else, I would pick up and move right away, doesn't matter where. Thank you! I hope it works out somehow...

Now that everyone heard jobs were available in the medical field TONS of people went to school to become Nurses, Rad techs, Ultrasound.... and the market is flooded. I work in Nuclear medicine and am lucky to have my job. I have been at my job 8 years. I got in just as the market was slowing down. If I lost my job today I would have 0% chance to find another full time job. I know students that graduated 3 years ago and have still not even been able to find part time or on call postions. I do not know anyone in my field that has found a FT job in the last 2 years.
Exactly, now there are "Tech" schools EVERYWHERE with most of them being short time classes... You have loads of studens graduating with no job openings to take all of those newly grads. Right now my bf is in school for Medical Coding Billing and Insurance, hope he graduates and FINDS a job.
