Industrial Technologist

Hi everyone, new Reddit user here. I've been a x-ray tech for the past 3 years and I'm not really sure if it's for me. I really enjoy patient care but as the only guy where I work it can get boring at times. I heard about a former tech where I work who ended up being an industrial Technologist. I don't know much about this field other than the fact that you scan equipment instead of patients. I was wondering if anyone on here works in a similar field and if it's a career path work pursuing. Thanks in advance and don't forget to pre collimate your light fields.
