Yes of course. Sorry I was skim reading...

That'd be a pretty interesting line of work... How does one go about getting a career in radiography?

Wow... I think my hypothesis was a bit off... 30.65% of FF.au members are computer nerds!

Not that there is anything wrong with that! :P

I am also involved in the IT side of things too though

Well, in NSW you need a 80+ pass in your HSC. You also need to enroll in University for Medical Radiation Technology or Medical Radiation Physics. After 4 years in Uni, you do a years work in an educational Hospital before getting your certification and Radiation License, which is rather costly to keep up.

You are free to chop and change places of employ after a year, as I did. I left the educational hospital after a year, and now I work in a private practice, which pays about 2-3 times more than the public sector. I like where I work, and because I commute between two practices, I am given a car allowance.
