PTA or Rad Tech Route?

Hello everyone,

I'm facing a dilemma and would appreciate some guidance. I can't decide between pursuing the Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) route or becoming a Radiologic Technologist (Rad Tech). If I opt for the PTA path, I'm looking to eventually work in home health for increased autonomy and freedom from workplace drama, not to mention decent pay. On the other hand, I'm aware that Rad Tech can offer higher earning potential and the opportunity to explore different modalities. However, I'm concerned about the potential for a more stressful job, dealing with traumatic situations, physicians, co-workers, and very injured patients. Length of education and cost of schooling are not a factor in my dilemma.

Would love to hear from anyone who has experience in either field. Thanks in advance for your advice and perspectives!
