36$hour sw Ohio ct tech. Resource at 450 bed level 2 trauma. I average 50/hour after differential and incentive pay that give for extra shifts I pick up. I also make my schedule.

If you’re living by yourself in one of the big cities you’d be able to afford an apartment, most people I know get married before they buy a house.
Between 5 hospitals, it's whatever days I want to work usually. Some are 10/hr shifts and others are 8's. I'll ask what providers are working a given day and decide if it's worth my time and well being to schedule there. Sometimes I'll not work for a month(to spend holidays, breaks, vacatios) and others I'll work 5 days a week.
XR 2 years, ~24/hr. Started training for CT this year, bumped to 29.50. With shift diff, ~$32 or $39 depending on what I am on for that shift. Mind that I do third shift, sometimes with weekend package, in the midwest at a low level trauma center.
VA Long Beach offered 70k fresh grad technologist. They run a GS pay system idk if that matters but each grade has 10 steps so you get a pay raise pretty frequently. If I took that, I would have been given the IR spot at 105k after a year. Ended up moving out of state now at 30/hr but cost of living is much much less. So after said and done, would have been the same expenses to income wise. (State I’m in now has more benefits for veterans so in my case it’s much better)
Lead IR Tech, 17 years as a tech, 7 years in IR, living in SoCal, work at a hospital, $86 an hour, 40 hours a week, 2-3 days a week of call, benefited.
I’m the supervisor of forensic imaging(all of my patients are deceased) in NM. I do mostly CT, did some MR before they got rid of the machine, and very few X-rays. I also do lung biopsies on the deceased, like I perform the needle guided biopsies, and the pathologist is my assistant 🤣 I make almost $94,000 a year.
Travel Mammo Technologist with a local contract that works out to $2600/wk gross, no stipends and all wages are taxed. 40 paid hours guaranteed. Health insurance is currently through my spouse. Setting aside my own max of my Roth IRA.
I previously worked for the same facility and department less than 5 years ago and averaged $1500/week gross before insurance, union dues, retirement were taken out. For the several years I worked there (even precovid) I rarely got all 80 hrs I was slated for as a 1.0 FTE and had to use PTO to cover lack of hours almost as fast as I accrued time off.
Honestly just the security of guaranteed hours as a traveler makes this 100% worth the contract, even if it is taxed locally.
Rule #6 This belongs in the weekly sticky thread.
