    annual job openings in Minnesota. The median wage in 2022 was $72,744 and is expected to

    rise. The requirements needed to become an ultrasound technician are to acquire a high school

    diploma or GED and obtain an associate’s degree in applied science or a bachelor’s degree. After

    someone is able to test out of all or just one of the four specialties that they learn during their

    schooling. People can make more money by being certified in more than one of the four

    specialties. Many hospitals employ ultrasound technicians, for example, Mayo and OMC in

    conditions.
