A member asked:

Looking at becoming an cardiac echo tech. are there many jobs out there? good schools in socal? looking to make a decent living. ekg tech maybe?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Good idea: An echo tech is a good job and can make a decent living. Ekg tech won't do much for you-it's not a sole position; you'd have to do other things and it doesn't pay. Consider school to become a pacemaker tech - they do very well and the demand for trained people is increasing as device use is on the rise.
