Radiology tech programs are only in community colleges. I believe some community colleges are starting bachelor's degrees for certain programs such as radiology tech. You could always get the AA then complete a BA/BS in another field...but honestly...once you graduate all they want to see is the proper degree which is simply the community college associates.
Also, good job on picking a field with good job prospects.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
