Which is a better job? x ray tech or a heavy equipment operator?

Question

I like both of these jobs and im really stuck in the middle. I like the heavy equipment because i like to play in the dirt and like to drive big things. I also liek the x ray tech because i like to work with people and i always liked getting x rays haha but i dont know which job is best for me. Can anyone help me?

Answer 1

I think they're both good jobs, but my vote would be x-ray technician.  You'll get to help people more directly, if that's important to you.  Heavy equipment jobs help people, obviously, but you don't see the direct results as much.  I think you'll also have more chances to be constantly learning new things throughout your career as an x-ray technician.  Hope that helps!

Answer 2

The correct word is TECHNOLOGIST.  Thank you :)

X-ray techs have better job security and awesome benefits, not sure I can say that about driving heavy equipment.  Also, not as dangerous for obvious reasons :)
