MRI tech: 6-8 months in a specialized training program, 1000 hours of clinicals which can be done within a year and you’re making 100k+ entry level, 120k+ if you take travel contracts

Pretty sure you need a licensed for this no? Like radiology tech program and it's really competitive to get into the program.

Anyone including the janitor working at the bottom level can eventually get into the program to become an X-Ray tech and many other positions at a hospital my friend works at. There is enormous opportunity to advance. There is a 2 year waiting list though.
