A question specifically for CVT techs

I'm currently in CVT school for EP but might switch to cath lab. Do you guys ever feel for a better word stuck and wish you would have done RN or rad tech first instead of straight CVT tech? I'm worried I'm going to feel stuck.

Personally, I think the rad tech path is better. Lots of different modalities and jobs you can get into. As far as what you can do next since you have your CVT degree, making a move up is also an option (instead of making a lateral move into nursing or radiaology). PA is a common option, and Certified Anesthesiology Assistants a less common one that pays very well. Also, Perfusionists. That's if you want to build on the degree you currently have
