Errica’s Answer
The best thing to know is that you are responsible for capturing the images that the radiologist needs. You are doing the scanning not the machine so it demands high attention to detail and being able to confidently know normal from abnormal anatomy.

To add to Erica's answer: Is there a community college near you? You could call and see if you could meet with someone from the Ultrasound Technology Program to learn more about the specifics, such as what courses you should take to get into the program; what the day in the life of an Ultrasound Technician is like. Many colleges have career fairs you could attend to get all of your questions answered and they are always happy to do so!
