DLZ asked:


I am interested in become an ultrasound technician. I am researching various options and can’t decide the best way to become certified. Would it be better to go to college and get my associate’s degree or just go to a tech school and become certified?
What is the most appealing to a possible employer? Would they offer someone with an associate’s degree a job before they offered someone who went a tech school a job? I already have about 2 years of schooling under my belt, but they’re just random G.E. courses. I’m leaning towards the tech school because the primary focus is just on medical courses. However, I don’t want to pay for the tech school, just to be passed over for a job if it doesn’t look as good on a resume.
The tech school seems to be the best option for me now because I can focus on just the medical courses. I’m more concerned about whether I will be considered for a ultra sound job if I am just certified without an associate’s degree. I would assume that the rate of pay would not differ because of it. From what I have researched, tech school’s do require you to pass the RDMS exam, so you would be licensed.
If anyone has anymore information it would be very helpful!
Thanks so much!

I want to do 2 yrs at a tech school to get the general ed classes out of the way and then transfer to a 4 yr college to focus on my major.

Will the cost be the same when I apply to the 4 yr school, even though I already took my general ed classes? It seems like it should be cheaper because I am taking less classes at the 4 year school. Am I right?

If I were working towards an associates degree in criminal justice, how much would I get done in tech school? I’ve read that you get credit that transfers over to the air force community college.
