According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), an RT earns an average of about $54,000 a year. The demand for the profession is strong. Between 2010 and 2020, the BLS reports that demand growth is expected to reach 28 percent, as compared to the 14 percent growth for all other occupations.

Training comes in the form of a two-year associate’s degree from a community college or vocational school, and consists of both theoretical studies and hands-on work.
