Median Pay – $6,540

When you go to a doctor, it’s not always an X-ray that you need, but also a sonogram. That’s where diagnostic medical sonographers and cardiovascular technologists and technicians come in. They operate special imaging equipment, and they decipher what’s going on inside your body and what needs fixing before sending you back to your doctor. Some go a step forward and go to the operating room where they assist physicians and surgeons during various procedures.

In 2014, there were nearly 113,000 jobs in this field and the job outlook is good, with the projection of growth of 24 percent until 2024,  which is astounding.
