Okay how do I figure out how much schooling is going to cost me..

I see this page: http://www.ccd.edu/ccd.nsf/html/WEBB87LN3T-Tuition+Fees+Charts

and i look through this: http://catalog.ccd.edu/radiologic-technology.htm and here: http://www.ccd.edu/department/Radiography

But ffs doesn't anything tell me exactly how much the damn thing costs? I see the charge is $120 per... something... hour? credit? I dunno!!!

Whenever I've gone to college, it was "this costs $XXXX"

Like when i talked to the lady at Bel Rae (for a vet tech) she said "$27,000 for 2 years. Okay awesome, now I know the price. I get paid $10/hr after I graduate... while I would LOVE that job, it's not happening. At this community college the cost is about half that.. Says right on the page "$13000 plus these costs" http://www.ccd.edu/ccd.nsf/html/WEBB87SNXF-CCD+Veterinary+Technology+AAS+Degree but still I'm not sure I'd pay that much to make what I do now. If I was in Canada, that job pays $15 to start and ends up around $25.. which if you love a career, is a great deal IMHO...

Anyhow... /confused

Oh just saw at another place.. $13000 ... not sure if that's just for the associates or the bachelor.. i tried it with both and it came up with the same price.

oh it states at the bottom for a bachelor degree.

nik the price is per credit. The cost is going to run you around 13k. But where do you get the 10 dollars an hr for a job in radiology? it pays a lot more.

[kitthekat 1,317]

Twins Cities campus we call the UofM. Its huge, massive and impersonal. You make a friend and you may never run into them again when the class ends. Smaller campuses are so much nicer, and I went to the UofM. Literally they don't ask your name, they ask for your number. Over 30 years later and I can still recite it.

Minneapolis/St Paul can offer you pretty much everything any city can. And, this is a big plus, you can live in the country and still be close enough to have easy access to all the things city life offers.

Move to northern MN its a long trip to get any of those things. You've got more nature, more country, and of course some of rather locked in attitudes that go with it. Some of those attitudes are just great and others can drive a person crazy if they're not used to it. But people who chose to live up there, absolutely love it there. I do know a few people that made the move and came screaming back to the city in a rather short time.

Thanks

It was the same when I went to public school in New York - you had to use your number and not your name.

No that's the pay grade in Colorado for a veterinary tech.. Not a radiology tech.

No for a veterinary tech.. Not a radiology tech.

oh..... Well, then why wouldn't you be a human radiology tech?

[kitthekat 1,317]

I'd work with animals instead of humans any day too...wait...sometimes it feels like I do work with animals.

[SAT 9,609]

While it's rewarding to work with animals, it doesn't reward you financially.

Just not in the USA it doesn't. In Canada it does. Up there veterinarians are some of the highest paid professionals. For the reason that it's significantly harder to get into a Vet school than into a medical program. There is simply only 5 schools. Only 2 are in the west. But there are 17 that teach human medicine. You still have to go to school for 8 years as well. Probably the only thing that paid better were dentists and that depended on the province. In Alberta it's not regulated by the gov't and in my old city, there was one Ferrari in town... Yup a dentist owned it, and lived in the most expensive neighbourhood taboot. (Granted there were only 80k people in that city and we spent from Nov to May in winter with only 2 months of summer. Owning a supercar was a little asinine. You'd find a few more in Calgary or Edmonton of course... since both had NHL and CFL teams.)
