OVERCOMING FINANCIAL, ACADEMIC, AND TIME MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES: A PATH TO CAREER SUCCESS IN RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGY

Academic excellence is vital for success in Radiologic Technology, contributing significantly to both personal growth and national development. This study explored the challenges encountered by Radiologic Technology students at Perpetual Help College of Manila, focusing on financial constraints, academic difficulties, and time management challenges, and how these factors influence their career aspirations. Through a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, the study revealed that students often struggle to balance academic requirements with financial and time-related challenges. In response, an intervention program was developed focusing on financial assistance, academic support, and time management training. This program aims to address the identified challenges, enhance student well-being, and improve academic performance, ultimately preparing students for successful careers in Radiologic Technology.
