Are sonographers happy with their careers? Do they make good $? Are they in demand? Thanks! Thats a personal question... but as far as money check this out... Earning Potential According to the Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (SDMS) survey of hospitals and medical centers across the United States, sonographers and vascular technologists earn a median hourly rate of $29 per hour or a median annual salary of $61,984 from all sources of compensation per year. Salary depends upon location and employer. According the U.S. Department of Labor, median annual earnings of diagnostic medical sonographers were $52,490 in May 2004. Salaries ranged from $37,800 to more than $72,230 for the highest 10 percent of wage earners.

Employment of diagnostic medical sonographers is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations through 2010 as the population grows and ages, increasing the demand for diagnostic imaging and therapeutic technology.
