    You are an inspiration honestly! All of this information is so incredibly valuable. I'm a senior in high school who originally wanted to persue a career in culinary but halfway through my senior year which was jsut recently I began interested in the sonography career. I have never been into any of the medical stuff but now I am feeling confident and you have really motivated me!! THANK YOU!

    This came out just in time thanks for the video I'm so excited to start applying to this program hoping I get in since I have to retake a course which is physics and I need at least a B, but all that a side I'm ready to start working and making money.
    It's a 15 month program and close to my home other programs are 2 years but 2 hours away and I'm not driving so busing it will not work

    Honest question! If you’re in a full time program like this, how do you survive financially since you aren’t able to work? I really want to get into a program like this but it seems impossible financially.

      I would recommend online remote jobs if you can for the weekends because that's what I'm doing. It is actually very hard to balance but hopefully if you have some family support you should do well. Best of luck!

    did you have to take classes or prerequisites before the sonography program? if you did, how long did it take? i’m going into community college for an associates degree in sonography, but to apply it says they have requirements to have prerequisites, so i dont know if i need to do those first or if it will be included in the program? ugh sorry im so bad at explaininggg!
