Sonographer (Ultrasound Technician)

Duties and Responsibilities:
Sonographers work with equipment that allows you to produces images or pictures of internal organs, diseased masses, and fetuses (babies). After the images are used to treat and diagnose the patient. They often specialized in certain parts of the body such as the brain, heart, and the pelvis. Most work in hospitals.
Average Salary: $24,000 - $38,000
Educational Requirements:
Those who are interested in this career should take challenging courses in high school such as science, math, and English.

Training programs for sonographers are offered at community colleges or hospitals. They can be completed in one or four years depending on experience. You must also pass annual certification tests after completing the training. 

I find this career interesting because I want to be in the medical field but I don't want to deal with blood or cutting people open. Plus I like to take pictures and maybe this is what I should be.
