What did you do prior to becoming an RT?

The interesting thing about the profession of RT is few enter this field right out of high school.  Usually people work hard in another career before jumping into this one.  So, that said, what were you before you became an RT? 

Usually poeple choose the profession of RT because the one they are in now is too arduous, dangerous, and doesn't pay well.  So they switch to this one.  They appreciate the ups and downs of this profession because we work in air conditioning, work with wonderful people, are guaranteed a job, and can take the job anywhere.  It's good, fair work -- if  you want to work that is.

Many of them -- expecially those who worked in construction -- contend if you hate the profession of RT you should try working on a black top on a 100 degree day during a dust storm.  Sure this profession isn't ideal, yet what job is.  Work is work; work is pay.  That's usually why people choose this profession.

Here's a list of some jobs of those I've had contact with:

• House wife

• Construction worker
• Painter
• Journalist
• Hair dresser/ barber
• Food service
