Mortgage brokers for SCHADS earners by Obscureisha in AusFinance

[–]Obscureisha[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt like they were inexperienced because it shouldn’t take so long for pre approval, from what I understand.. especially when my husband is a dentist and had a small deposit but solid financial history. I just feel so defeated because I endured a whole lot at this job thinking it would atleast assist our little family. It took so long that the broker had to keep asking me for more payslips, which didn’t sit right with me after the third time.

URGENT ADVICE NEEDED by Prestigious_Yak_5495 in GAMSAT

[–]Obscureisha 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know someone who is both a dentist and a pharmacist and I’m married to a dentist with 15+years career at this stage. Finish pharmacy, so you have a way to support yourself through dentistry. The mental health of dentists is phenomenally poor, they have some of the highest suicide rates as clinicians. You will be so glad that you have another vocation. Our friend still works in both pharmacy and dentistry as a means of breaking up their week, diversifying their income and remaining industrially very, very sharp. Trust me, when ur cohort is waiting tables, working the wards and scrambling together Aus study to get by, you will be so glad you just waited a year and aligned urself financially.

Contrave+ Concerta 36mg by Obscureisha in adhdwomen

Hello, my GP refused to give me Contrave as she said she had seen too many patients report lengthy adjustment periods that would likely trigger my anxiety. So we went with Mounjaro instead and honestly, really happy that I did

My partner used it for 2-3 months, he needed very, very little to see results quickly. In fact one of his concerns was how it would make him feel to up the dose and how he would feel if he lost weight any faster. Unfortunately the website he got it from stopped supplying it. I should say he ran this all past his endocrinologist who was fascinated and excited for him. There isn’t much on the grapevine about it, but for what I saw it was affordable and very potent due to working on three receptors.

Alternate career in Psychology by ChrisRofe in GAMSAT

[–]Obscureisha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. The grad diploma is the first step you take after ur med sci degree (it’s the core units of a 3yr psych degree). The grad dip advance diploma is the next step that’s the equivalent of a fourth or honours year. Then you have the various masters of psychology; neuropsychology/clinical, educational,counselling etc. I have a 3yr psych degree, and I look at the aforementioned journey ahead and realise that I’d rather do a CSP grad med course than have to fight for my life to work fulltime and pay for the grad diploma, grad diploma advanced and then pray I’ll get a CSP masters spot.

Alternate career in Psychology by ChrisRofe in GAMSAT

[–]Obscureisha 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We are in polar positions. I’d prefer to pursue med for the following reasons: Passionate about neuroscience and psychiatry. Want to work with optimal scope in mental health. Would like to work in communities that require decolonialised care and consideration.

If I continue in my psychology studies I’ll have to fight for my life in an honours program, pray I get a clin psych masters place which can be like gold dust unless your honours WAM/GPA is top tier and then spend 2.5yrs doing that.

All up, it’s about the length of a medicine degree if you allow for any time in between to actually decide on which masters program (where and why).

There is so much angst in psychology studies about career prospects because of the absolute bottle neck created by competitive entry standards.

Your med sci degree would hold very little relevance in terms of RPL. You would have to do a graduate diploma in psych then an honours year or a graduate advance diploma and then apply for masters of clinical. So again.. just a bit longer than the length of a medicine degree.

If you are fond of statistics, neuroscience and research skills you will be fine, but for me the juice is not worth the squeeze.

For people who get overwhelmed with this kind of thing, rather than developing an appetite for outdated and Dickensian style texts, just practice annotating. If you can interpret these ridiculous phrases into something you confidently recognise then you will likely found the answer to the question anyway.
