Liane’s Answer
Radiology is such a diverse field with what feels like endless opportunities. I am a CT/X-ray technologist at multiple hospitals and love my career. To work as an X-ray technologist you only need an associate degree in Radiologic Technology (and passing xray boards) and then once in the field you can cross train into various modalities (for example CT or MRI).
Technology is constantly evolving in Radiology, so it is always interesting. As a technologist you get to work hands on with patients, but the interactions are more limited than nursing. I personally think this makes care fatigue less of a problem. If you're someone who likes a varied work environment and helping people Radiology is where it is at!

Hi.
I am a doctor from Ukraine, have completed a radiology residency, and have chosen a specialization in sonography.
Radiology is a young science and very promising.
Radiologists are always in demand due to the important role they play in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. This ensures job stability.
In the U.S., radiologists have access to advanced technologies and equipment, allowing them to work with the most modern diagnostic and treatment methods.
Radiologists play a key role in medical diagnostics, making their work extremely important for the health and lives of patients.
Some radiologists can work with a flexible schedule, especially if they are involved in teleradiology, which allows them to work remotely.

With Radiology, you still need to go to medical school. I think the pros about going into Radiology is that you don't have the patient pressures ("I've been waiting 1 hour to see you"), hear multiple problems etc. You just work your hours.
The cons are you don't have patient interactions so it can be a little lonely. You are in your office reading the films and dictating the results. If you want interaction, you can do procedures as a Radiology. Doctors are relying on you to help solve a piece of the puzzle but it can be difficult because you don't always have the full history of what is going on. You will also probably be on call to read films for the ER. I don't know if you work from home or if you actually need to go to the hospital.
I think you need to know yourself. Are you more a people person or are you more of an introvert?
