There are quite a few types of radiology technologist including CT, MRI, U/S, mammogram and diagnostic techs. All varying in training and pay but from my experience, you will not have a problem getting a job. MRI typically has no or less call(overnight duties) but is much more complicated. U/S technically difficult and a good one is very high in demand. CT relatively easy but busy calls.

Radiology touches just about every medical speciality these days, and the technology is exploding. Cardiovascular issues are also important and not likely to go anywhere either, but at least radiology could provide a variety of experiences.
Well, radiologists make more than cardiologists, so I'd say their techs probably make a commensurate amount. My guess would be a cardiovascular tech. I am basing this on the logic that as the baby boomers get older they will need heart care more than x-rays.
I know that radiology tech can do more than just bones (mammograms) etc. So my logic may be faulty. The schools may have some figure on expected future need. "What Color Is My Parachute?" - a job search guide, may have some tips on where to seek this kind of future-looking information. Im an xray tech, so I'm probably biased, but truely radiology has more prospects. There are many modalities you could branch off into. EX. Cat scans, MRI, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy, surgery, pain management, and many more. Plus, I do believe the pay is higher.
