Jacqueline Said:

What are some health-related careers that require a bachelor's degree?

We Answered:

FYI, radiology is the interpretation of medical images. You have to have an MD and do a radiology residency to be a radiologist. I think your are thinking of radiography. Radiographers are the persons who take the x-rays, MRIs, etc., but they do not interpret them.

Other health care jobs that require a bachelor's include clinical laboratory science (medical technology), cytotechnology, nuclear medicine technology, and respiratory therapy. You might also consider biomedical engineering technology (repair and maintenance of hospital equipment).

Note though that this isn't a list of "starting pay" and there's a reason it's "median"; half of people earn more and half earn less. It's highly subject to individual ability, experience, and geographic location.

Is there some reason you're specifically needing to earn $65,000 per year right away? That's $5400 per month. $1250 per week. $31.25 per hour. That's not an amount of money most people earn when they start working.

Some people will write that "I'm an X and I don't make $y." Then you're not the median and you might want to 1) get better at your job or 2) find another job or 3) move to somewhere that they do earn $y. ?
