I am currently majoring in radiology technology in college. I really love science, math, and I enjoy helping people, and I have a part time job at an assisted living home that I enjoy quite a bit. So I thought radiology technology would be a good balance to all those things.
However, my school now wants me to have the COVID-19 vaccination to enter into the program, so it looks like radiology technology may no longer be an option. I am going to try to get exempted but I have spoken to people and the director of the program is very strict, so it looks unlikely that I will.
Does anybody know of any similar programs I could pursue, that hopefully wouldn't require the vaccine?
Radiology as in reading scans will be replaced by computer. At least computers will reduce the people needed faster than people retire.
For somebody who's 20 it's something to consider so you're not 50 years old with no marketable skills because your profession doesn't exist anymore. Like long-haul trucking - might be 20 years away but it's only a matter of time before it's computerized.
Working with people like a social worker, ad-hoc maintenance like plumbing, or work where you have to understand and solve problems like lawyer or programmer will be the last holdouts.
