    You really need to do more research on these programs if you're serious about them. But it seems you're set on healthcare which is a good start.

    Radiology- usually an A.S. or B.S. program. Pay is roughly 50-60K/year.

    Sonography- usually a certificate program. Pay is roughly 60-70K/year.

    AA- a Master's program, which means you have to get a B.S. first. You can get a B.S. in Radiology and apply to AA but it wouldn't make much sense because the material are not related. A more natural progression would be to get a B.S. in Respiratory Care (aka Respiratory Therapy, which is what I did) because you will go over airways and ventilator management which would be useful in AA school. I would also recommend to consider a BSN in nursing, so you can take the CRNA route which would be similar to AA.
