Medical imaging certs: science interest, better pay, helping others.

The user has an Associate of Science degree, a desire to help people, an interest in the medical field (excluding pharmacy), and needs better pay. Certifications in medical imaging, such as Radiologic Technologist, Ultrasound Technologist, or MRI Technologist, align perfectly with these criteria. These roles offer significantly higher pay than her previous paraprofessional work, leverage her science background, and fulfill her desire to help. With good academic grades, she is a strong candidate for relevant associate's or certificate programs. The expected salary range for these positions is substantially better, typically starting from $55k-$70k and growing with experience.
