Ultrasound Technician?

Question:I am currently going to a 15 month program for Sonography (ultrasound tech.). I am very worried as I check out the job market and am not finding very many jobs that take graduated students without certification (once I graduate I am required to work one year and then take the test to become certified). The school I am going to costs A LOT of money and I just hope I am not sinking all my money and time into something that is going to leave me high and dry.

Answers:
I am sorry, but you are going to have trouble finding employment if you are not licensed. This is something these non-accredited schools seem to hide from new students. They sure don't mind taking your money, but they do seem to leave their students high and dry upon graduation. How far into the program are you? How much money have you spent? Is there any way you can transfer to an accredited program?

Here is a site which will help you find accredited programs in your state:

Best wishes to you..
Try going to a counselor where you are taking the program. Ask them if they have any programs that hire right after graduation. Alot of places will hire through colleges and institutions. Of course the pay probably won't be too good, but enough. It would only be for a year and the experience you gain would be so helpful. Just make sure you are doing the research and ask, ask and ASK!! This is your life, don't be afraid to be inquisitive. Good luck sweetie.. : )
