A radiologist is a doctor: 4 years bachelors degree + 4 years medical school + 4-5 years residency/internship. If you want to be a radiologic technologist (x-ray tech), accredited programs are generally 40 hours per week for 2 years after prereqs, and you can find schools here (choose Radiography): http://www.jrcert.org/cert/Search.jsp

I would ask your recruiter more about this, and also look into college programs because a lot of colleges for working adults are more than willing to bend over backwards to help you find financial aid, scholarships, and private grants.

I think you are confused.
A Radiologist is a Physician (MD or DO) who has taken a further residence in Radiology.
For you, call it ten years of study.
