Im interested in how to get into the field of sonography. I dont know whether to go for the certificate programs or the associates degree program. Also does going to DMS accredited school make a huge difference. Any information or stories on how you became an ultrsound tech would be greatly appreciated. -

I'd say that's accurate. I know Ultrasound techs earning $16 an hour. It depends on where you live, here wages in all of healthcare are lower then that of larger cities.
