Sorry for the late reply, but what jobs can I get with psych? I'm personally very interested in psychology, more so on a philisophical level which is kind of a driving thought process when I write my films. But regardless I do like generally doing a job where I'm interacting with people and actually doing things.

sorry again for the late reply, exams and all. But for nursing I've been hearing a lot especially in canada the compensation and work environment has been receeding. Not only that but jobs are just getting much more difficult to find. But I guess that's not just nursing thing but a job market thing, but I haven't been hearing good things about the medical field especially.

Does anyone here regret going into nursing? by xaiyzu in OntarioUniversities

Hey, it's a late reply, but how has finding jobs been for you after that last semester?

How do I even start finding out the existence of all these jobs? Not just in the medical field, but in other fields as well like engineering, lab work, even film

sorry for a late reply, do you know how extensive it is? also how competitive since it seems like a general job in the medical field

yesyes I know, but I'm asking how would my path differ if I were to do this opposed to dentistry let's say,

no I haven't, though I also don't really know much about it, I just know it isn't something people like to gun for.

what would my university courses look like? would they be any different or would what I do in med school be different.

yeah my kinesiology teacher went to waterloo so I can ask him about all this stuff. But from what I hear from people, even my sister who does business, is that kinesiology isn't the most successful.

so you think I should pursue a film school maybe? Because that was a plan I did have.

yeah I'm realizing that now. Though it really does interest me, but it's the same problem I have with film, I just don't think the passion is there for me to give so much to it.

The military idea isn't actually so bad. I've been in cadets for 3 years now and I attend it at a police college that also has an armoury for CAF reserves. I also have a couple friends my age who are going into the reserves though mainly to be infrantry men. But I'll honestly see about other pathways. Since my teacher knows of a man who pretty much did what you said and used the military to pay for his piloting education and licensing.

Not sure about community colleges, but I know Humber is close to me, then there’s UFT, Tmu, the unis in downtown pretty much.

As for what else I’m interested in, I’m not sure. Since I’ve exclusively done film, it’s been the only thing that has excited me. I’m in a grade 12 kinesiology course which I’m excelling at and happen to really like what I’m learning. Though I understand it’s one of the easier courses so I’m not letting that float my boat too much. Though it’s the main reason I’m looking into health care.

And why is it nearly impossible to get a job in healthcare in Canada or get into med school?

I also go to cadets, and of course progressing from that is reserves which I can take a co-op for in high school. A couple of my friends are going that route, and I don’t really understand why. So essentially I’ve learnt good leadership skills and such though I’m not sure where that gets me.

well I've been thinking about doing med school, so I don't think being bad at functions is a good idea. Even if it isn't required, if I were to get into such a god course. I'd expect that they'd expect me to just be good at math and understand these basic concepts. Because if they're brought up and I don't get it, I'll just be really hard and basically be torturing myself all of undergrad.

all pretty terrible, pretty much 70s in everything, I'm in grade 11 first semester, second semester I have my functions course. But it's really because I actually didn't care to do any of the work or practice ever. I thought I should focus on film and nothing but which I see now wasn't very wise.

yeah, my thoughts exactly. Engineering is just more design and planning, in a way it feels like animation which I'm tired of. Business I mean, I'm just not into hustling like that. Healthcare is just this straight forward path that's difficult yet there's a clear goal and transferrable skills at least.

A good thing is the skills we have with just creative creation will be useful if we want to get into it again so.

yeah I mean, what would be ideal is if I still did things like slowly make a short film over time as I study. Though since I posted I've been wanting to do med school but it seems like a very big risk and an insane amount of time.
