bigpicture001: Chai, Naija don cast! Some radiographers that work as MRI techs are paid up to $40 per hour. Most do 12hour shift which is $480, After tax around $380. Which is about #180k (naira equivalent for a day of work). 1 Like |

sonnie10:oga nor mistake radiologist who are doctors plus extra 4-6 years training on radiology to radiography which is just an image technologist. so know your fact before you yearn and beside pharmacy school is not for any Harry and Larry the marathon classes from 7am to 6pm(sometimes Saturday) from year two to 3 can break any man. before we talk of the fail 5 courses out of the possible 30 courses(including separate practicals) repeating system. so find your facts first there is a reason pharmacy is one of the most strict profession even after graduation. 3 Likes |

bigpicture001:See dis guy. Who is the richest Radiographer in the world? A Pastor in my church just newly ordained owns a big Pharmacy in Ikeja. A Young Man just approaching his mid 30's. I won't tell you how much he rakes and you're calling 2million naira. How many Radiographers own a Lab? But there many Pharmacist cashing out daily. If it is in terms of Jobs availability, Yes Radiography. Radiography is not saturated since it is not a long time it became a Degree in the University. Just give it time and it will be like Med Lab In Nigeria, Radiologist own Labs incase you don't know. |

sonnie10: $60 I suppose u mean 60k , well it is debatable because u don't know the level of both certificates from Nigeria in outside communities. Radiography is a two year program Job offers, yes, pharmacy has more but the quality is the problem. 150k in Ikeja for a pharmacist and 240k for a radiographer in same place is not same. Many rep works and sales work.. for pharmacist, but how much are u paid? No need to talk of license cover.....it is few. You can't start a pharmacy in Nigeria with less than 1.5mil. unless it is a chemist store. 1.5m is enough to start of as a Radiographer. Every Dick, Tom & Harry will like to give advice on NL. |

lordprogress:Where did you see pharmacy in the quote you mentioned. Radiologist do not do any of those listed imaging procedures, they are all done by radiographers with additional training. Your response shows that you don’t know anything about the Radiology profession |

sonnie10: You really don't know anything about Radiography. Do you think that radiography is all about X-rays? There are lots of modalities in Radiography like MRI, CT, Ultrasound, PET Scan, Radiotherapy etc and they all pay very high. Normal X-ray may not pay high but other modalities earn huge salaries. 1 Like |
Re: Radiography Vs Pharmacy. Which Is More Lucrative by sonnie10: 2:13pm On Apr 27, 2021 |
Syphax:Oga read my other comments on this post. Thanks. These other imaging modalities might pay higher than X-rays but their pay is not comparable to that of a pharmacist. The mid salary for any of those in US is 75k per annum while mid salary for a pharmacist is about $120k. When talking about career growth, two paths are possible, vertical and horizontal growth. When you obtain additional certifications in radiology, like in mri and ct, that is seen as horizontal growth. True career vertical growth has to do with higher degree. Unfortunately, radiography is a dead end job. Apart from teaching, there is really nothing to do with a Post bachelorette. Every other modality could be licensed through certification. Pharmacy on the other hand is a doctorate degree program in most countries, Nigeria being an exception. There is an on going discussion to evaluate and align with international standards in this regard. That is true vertical career growth. 1 Like |
Re: Radiography Vs Pharmacy. Which Is More Lucrative by Syphax(m): 2:13pm On Apr 27, 2021 |
Zeeknow3245:You really need to broaden your horizon. Do you think radiography ends in X-ray and Ultrasound? Pharmacists are only needed for drug dispensation. Radiography has lots of fields that one can dabble into. An MRI specialist earns more than your average pharmacist. In most private establishments, Radiographers are the highest paid medical personnel. The money a radiography department generates from one MRI scan alone is almost up to the amount most pharmaceutical shops make in a day. What of the money gotten from one bout of chemotherapy? Abeg |
Re: Radiography Vs Pharmacy. Which Is More Lucrative by Syphax(m): 2:16pm On Apr 27, 2021 |
sakaguchi: Bullshit, a Radiographer with a masters on image interpretation knows a whole lot on image interpretation when compared to a radiologist. In UK and USA, Radiographers with masters on Image interpretation are allowed to interpret films so this your analogy is dead on arrival. In private organisations, a Radiographer earns more than a pharmacist. You aren't in the medical field it's very obvious |

Re: Radiography Vs Pharmacy. Which Is More Lucrative by Syphax(m): 2:22pm On Apr 27, 2021 |
lordprogress: You said imaging technologist as if it's one low calibre profession, one that just involves taking of pictures. Do you really think they don't know the anatomical details of the human body? Do you think ultrasound scan/pet scan is all about taking pictures? In UK, most Radiographers take and interpret X-ray pictures. If radiography was that easy to study, lots of people would have invaded the profession. |
Re: Radiography Vs Pharmacy. Which Is More Lucrative by CryptoRepublic1: 2:30pm On Apr 27, 2021 |
Isn't it interesting how a lot of people here are comparing radiography to pharmacy,but the most interesting part is that many of them don't even know the difference between radiology and radiography. Radiography is a very easy course and job,so that says it all. Pharmacist and medical doctor are almost on the same level at career ladder, while radiographer and a pharmacy technician are of almost the same level too. 2 Likes |
Re: Radiography Vs Pharmacy. Which Is More Lucrative by Zeeknow3245(m): 2:58pm On Apr 27, 2021 |
Syphax:You're a blatant Liar. Highest Paid medical Personnel? How much are Radiologist paid? Many Radiologist consult for more than 5 hospitals. Guy Radiography might have money but Radiology is top notch anywhere. You're comparing a Retail Pharmacy to a Big Pharmaceutical store? Wait what do you think Pharmacy is like? Pharmacist work for NGO's incase you don't know. Radiography is still a new course as a degree in Nigeria so I can let this slide. Reality will hit the Profession hard soon when Universities become more greedy. This your "Highest paid medical personnel" is a hoax |
Re: Radiography Vs Pharmacy. Which Is More Lucrative by Zeeknow3245(m): 3:03pm On Apr 27, 2021 |
Syphax:To settle the matter, whose signature is needed for result to be given to a patient? A Radiographer? Who even knows a Radiographer? Do you think the patients came to see fancy machineries abi look for result? My brother this argument isn't Valid. Who created the program medical Radiography? When you've checked it. Come let's have a sensible discuss. My brother Radiography is easy to study anywhere in the world it is even a 3 year course same for Medical Laboratory Science in the UK and US so all these Argument na waste. Do you know about Forensic Radiography that Engineers work with? The Msc in Diagnostic Radiography was designed by which Profession? Oga just stop and enjoy your money being a Paramedical worker naw. Nigerians and "Self" mentality ehn |
