When I was child, my dream was to become an inventor. I wanted to invent something that will make the world better. I thought using technology would be the best way to realize my dream. I never thought about becoming a radiologist until I had to make an essay about my career choice in High School. I want to be a radiologist because I think; having the ability to produce images of the human body using different techniques is fascinating. One of my reasons for choosing this career is because radiology is at the leading edge of technological advances in clinical medicine. My second reason because they make good money. With that money I will be able to help my family and the people in need. I plan to achieve my goal after acquiring necessary tools and experience required to diagnose, manage and provide therapeutic options to patients. Radiologists are physicians who specialize in medical diagnosis through the use of imaging studies. Radiologists also play a great role in the diagnosis and treatment of disease in adults and children. …show more content…

Radiologists get well paid for their work. The salary of a radiologist may vary depending on a number of factors including location, years of experience and level of education. The median salary for a radiologist is about $365,000 per year in the United
States.
South University was not my first choice. I considered Palm Beach Sate College because it was going to cost less money than most other school. My second reason is because all my friends were going there as well. I had second thoughts about going to Palm Beach State College because people who went there told me that it was not a great school. A friend who attended South University gave my information to the director of admissions at South University. I received a phone call from the director of admissions and he convinced me to come to South University. I made some research before coming to South University. I learned that they have smaller classes, which makes it easier for students to pay attention to their teachers. South University is regionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and they also have 11 campuses. I chose South University to pursue my career because not only I will get my degree faster but also the teachers are people who actually worked in the field.
