Xray Technician/Radiology Tech job Security?

What do you guys think about this career, when it comes to job security? Job demands like nursing? any links or articles you have read... Thanks

It won't be quite as easy to find a job as if you were a nurse because hospitals will need more nurses than RTs, but there will be job security. Baby boomers are getting older, meaning more health problems and a greater demand for health care. They can't outsource basic health things like X-rays. They are starting to outsource things like interpreting X-rays because that doesn't require the patient to go to India, and they are starting to send people needing expensive treatments like heart transplants around the world. This won't affect you though, just interesting tidbits.
