Hi! I just want to start off mentioning that I am not a radiation therapist (sorry), but I'm currently taking my prereq classes to apply for the program next year. The program is 2 yrs & is highly suggested not to work during the time being.. I have an apartment, car loan, living expenses and pay for school out of pocket (I dont qualify for FAFSA). Was anyone ever in this position? How did you manage to attend the program and make ends meet? Any suggestions? Thanks!! I want to be like you guys!

I worked. I was in a very intense program in Oregon. I worked a little less than 30 hours a week, and had 3 kids. It was hard, but can be done. I tried to work early morning shifts before school and weekends. Good luck with your program!

Amarillo College offers an online course that you combine with a year and a half of local clinical evaluations. You can take it most anywhere. Its a fully JCERT accredited program and INCREDIBLY INEXPENSIVE. One semester at a state college costs more than the entire program. The people running the Program are amazing. It changed my life. Online is pretty intense. I was unable to work while in school. It took almost all of my time. It takes more time than going to regular college courses when said and done, but I was able to take it hundreds of miles from the school. Maybe you can find someone to support you or take out a loan. Do not expect to work while in school if you do it online. . I had a classmate that thought he could and he ended up quitting work and taking a loan, however you can do anything if you want it bad enough.
