"Your primary responsibility as a radiation therapist is to provide radiation therapy to patients with cancer and other medical illnesses that require radiation therapy. You collaborate with a team of medical professionals to plan and deliver exact radiation dosages, ensuring the focused treatment of malignant cells while minimising exposure to healthy tissues.

Specialising in radiation therapy can be motivated by a desire to help cancer patients, contribute to improvements in cancer treatment, work in a collaborative medical team, use technical skills for precision, and find personal fulfilment in having a good influence. Finally, it is a fulfilling professional path for those who are passionate about improving patients' lives with cutting-edge technology and compassionate care.

When deciding on a job, young Namibians should engage in self-reflection to identify their interests, abilities, and values. They should investigate numerous career options, get professional advice, and assess the schooling and job market demand for their selected field."
