I do not want to be a radiologic technologist because i do not like to use x-ray equipment. I think they have a lot of responsibilities and the job sounds hard to do. It is interesting how they can help people but it is not my dream job. I would preffer something that does not imply bones. I think radiologic technologist are too advanced in technology and that is something that i like but in a different way because i would rather use a computer than scanners and all that stuff they work with.
