Choosing the perfect career is vital. The word career means something you want to do for the rest of your life. A career is more than just a job. It is more based off your interests because YOU have control of what you want to do. So, when picking a career you want to be prudent and make sure your choice is going to be something that fits you. Ever since I was a freshmen in high school, Ive had my mind set on one career. Ive done a lot of research over the years, along with other career projects on my choice, and I know it is right for me.

Here at moraine, the requirements are few classes as prerequisites, followed by the radiology program, which is offered at the school.

Along with educational requirements, there are also personal skills that are looked at as well. Dealing with people all day, of course you are going to need to be outgoing, approachable, and respectable with all different types of people. Right now, I waitress, and Im pretty good at it.
