I am very interested in becoming a radiation therapist, but I have a question. The two options I am considering are:
1.) Going to a 4 year University where I can major in Radiation Therapy.
or
2.) Going to a 4 year University that does not offer it as a major, then going to a technical college after, and getting a certificate through them.
I’m thinking about doing this because very few colleges in my area offer it as a major. I’m pretty set on which college I want to go to, and they don’t offer it, however, there is a technical school in that area that I could go to after, and recieve a certificate for radiation therapy.
What I’m wondering is, would I get paid more if I had a degree in it, and less if I had a certificate, or is the pay the same no matter how you go about it?
