LMG, my work background is more impressive in a large consumer marketing market. Otherwise, I was just a secretary and marketing coordinator and they miss the specific skill set I earned. I would have much less of a hard time in Chicago, NYC, San Francisco, LA, Denver or Atlanta. But, it is what it is. Also, the firm in SF has since closed, been absorbed in a merger. I know I could get great references from them, but would have to track the people down. I only keep in touch with one or two from there.
The radiology tech is the "safe" job. $8000 for two years of schooling, pretty much guaranteed jobs anywhere.
Michelle, I love your response regarding our choices! hehehe
