Guest guest Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Thank you Jackie for explaining what is envolved with an Ultra sound tech. Anyone else have any ideas for my son? He needs a career and a college. He wanted to be an X-Ray tech or Ultra Sound tech. Maybe with CMT that is not a great idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Hi , You may have forgotten this but several years ago all of us at brainstormed on careers for persons with CMT. The entire list is in our Files section. There may be some additional ideas there for Spencer's future. Also I just saw an updated copy of the career book " What Color Is Your Parachute? " It is an excellent resource. ~ Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 , I would hate to discourage him from what he wants to do. Maybe he can do some temp work at an Imaging center so he could get some hands on experience and really see if it is right for him. I wish I did that first. I will brainstorm and try to come up with some ideas that might be a good fit. How is your son affected by CMT; what are his symptoms?

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Hi ... I just thought of something else. A fast-growing job sector is the world of GIS-Geographic Information Systems...it all relates to how things are placed in space and on the planet.. Specialists in GIS take a diploma and learn to use computer systems to represent things spatially...There are literally tons of applications to different work environments...we use GIS specialists here to represent the earth surface (and subsurface) but fire and police departments use them, mining and oil companies, park management, municipalities. If he's good with machines and bright it might be right up his alley...No standing or heavy lifting required. Cheers Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
