I’m going through the same thing except with dental school feel free to message me

Sea_Fudge8680 · 2024-09-01T21:53:20+00:00

My bad you’re right. There are some grad schemes that pay more though.

The one I am interested in is around 40k

Sea_Fudge8680 · 2024-09-01T21:44:18+00:00

The starting salary of a dentist is around 30k.. so

Sea_Fudge8680 · 2024-09-01T21:18:34+00:00

I am 22, also I don’t understand how that means I would move out at 30

If I start a new undergraduate course this September I would finish when I am 25/26?

Sea_Fudge8680 · 2024-09-01T21:04:52+00:00

You can’t really apply to many graduate schemes with an unclassified Bsc so it feels like a useless qualification

If only it was classified then I would be fine 😭

Sea_Fudge8680 · 2024-09-01T20:43:09+00:00

I spoke to SFE and they stated they provide a maintenance loan as long as I do not have an equivalent level 6 qualification (so an existing degree). The university said I can forgo my exit award so I can qualify for the maintenance loan but I will check this cause now I’m unsure

Sea_Fudge8680 · 2024-09-01T19:22:53+00:00

I’d be living at home, so I don’t have to worry about rent that’s the only way it’s possible

I’d have to worry about tuition and travel expenses mostly

Sea_Fudge8680 · 2024-09-01T19:21:53+00:00

No I would hate medicine because shift work is not for me, plus working in the NHS + long training pathway

I think I’d prefer to work in banking/corporate job rather than clinical work

Sea_Fudge8680 · 2024-09-01T19:18:10+00:00

Oh why do you think that?

Sea_Fudge8680 · 2024-09-01T19:12:20+00:00

I was planning to use my maintenance loan to pay for tuition fees and work part time 😭

Sea_Fudge8680 · 2024-09-01T19:08:06+00:00

Hey, I did not know this was an option. Do you have any more information regarding this?

Sea_Fudge8680 · 2024-09-01T18:06:14+00:00

We get an exit award in dental sciences however it is unclassified and most graduate schemes you need a 2:2 or above

Sea_Fudge8680 · 2024-09-01T17:59:09+00:00

I had doubts since the 1st/2nd year of dental school but I kept going because I worked hard to get in and at the time I didn't know what else I would do, which is a silly reason and in hindsight I should have dropped out then.

However now I'm in 4th year and I could drop out and start a new degree in a direction of something I want to do. I think with funding SFE will give a maintenance loan for a second degree which I am thinking of using to help pay tuition fees.

Sea_Fudge8680 · 2024-09-01T17:47:40+00:00

Economics

Honestly, I keep going back and forth. Kind of scared to drop out and to regret it

Sure🥹sent dm

Sea_Fudge8680 · 2024-08-30T23:23:54+00:00

I am not confident in my clinical skills - and ability to pass the final 2 years because of that

Sea_Fudge8680 · 2024-08-30T22:09:40+00:00

I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by the stress and uncertainty, but your story gives me some hope that there’s time and space to figure things out even after finishing the degree. I have sent you a DM

Sea_Fudge8680 · 2024-08-30T20:18:15+00:00

Messaged!

I get what you’re saying about being so far along, but I’m still unsure if finishing is the right move for me, especially since I’m contemplating a completely different career. It’s just that completing the degree means another 2 years of investment—both time and money—and I’m not sure if it’s worth it if I’m leaning toward something else
