    More like $38/hour..and that's starting. Few more years in the field and you can average more than that, especially working in hospitals. Besides, it's not always about the money, you'd be surprised to know that people actually chose careers because they are genuinely passionate about them. If you wake up every morning loving your job, it doesn't seem like work. Try it yourself.

      That's true. I know a sonographer and she makes about 130,000 a year, right out of school! Some make more than the doctors.

    Hi, I'm really interested in this field and I wanted to ask you some things if you don't mind :) How did you get job experience beforehand, so that you knew this was what you wanted to do? And also, are the majority of sonographers employed by hospitals? If so, are they always "on call?" Sorry for all the questions, thanks!!

    @hobobanna6575 That is a terrible assessment of what ultrasound entails. Your cousin makes what she wants of her job. There are plenty of avenues to advance its whether you have the drive or the skill to do so. Ultrasound is a excellent allied health field where what you do is challenging and a great deal of responsibility is placed in your hands but you have to be determined to do your job right. I've been a technologists for 13 years and I love my job.
