Radiation therapy?

i have great interest in health sciences, espeacially radiation therapy. i heard that, radiation therapist can earn a lot of money. is it? and i worry the radiation might be absorped by our body, turn up some side effects occur like changing the genetic code of our body. will this be?
i decided to take this course in university of newcastle of australia. it this recommended? and, glad to have yours suggestion.

the therapist isnt in the room when the radiation is being given..you control the computer from another room and watch the patient via a camera and screen so you shouldn;t be exposed to radiation and yes they do make a decent amount of money

Because of your great enthusiasm, don't wait and study what you love.

Money - not bad but if that is why you want to do t, don't bother - there are easier ways and patients should not have to put up with carers who are not in it for the right reason!

Radiation dose - not a problem, therapists are not in the same room as their patients.

Training in Australia is a good idea - the standard of training is high there!
