Dietitian or diagnostic radiographer?

Hi

I don't know what to choose as a degree next year. I do have bsl level 3 and I have a health care certificate. I was a diabetes health care assistant looking after children and I'm currently doing access to science course.

Half a day of shadowing in a DR department is fine - it is so that you can show unis you understand the role. You also have work experience in a caring role, so you have both requirements (shadowing and work experience) covered. What environment do you think you would prefer to work in? Bearing in mind that you would work weekend and night shifts for DR, are the shift patterns better for dietetics?
