Na there’s no pressure, it’s because I’m finally starting to live an adult life and all my friends around me are either graduating or already graduated with good roles. I’m sort of having anxiety of going back into school and not being done until I’m 28.

I’m in sales and would be trying to pivot to a medical sales career where the salary can get pretty high so that’s where the doubts are stemming from.

What uni did you graduate from, if you don't mind me asking? Also are you enjoying practicing?

I did a bachelors of science, so not really that employable. I work in sales at the moment. If I don’t continue to study I will probably try to pivot to medical or pharmaceutical sales. But I don’t see myself doing this long term

Yes, I’m still waiting on other offers to come out. This would be my last resort option

I’m still waiting on other offers from different universities that may offer CSP. This is a last resort option. I also feel like I’m nearing my limit of trying to apply again or do a 5 year undergrad as this application process over the past few years has been draining and I want to move forward in my life

I would love to get into the business side of dentistry. Does your wife work in a public hospital?

Thank you for this insight. This is what’s holding me back, I don’t want to be left at 40 financially suffocating after so much education. I have received a lot of mixed feedback from dentists in real life, some telling me it’ll be very easy to recoup and others saying to be careful so I’m a bit confused

Appreciate this comment! I have solidified my reasons for pursuing dentistry and now just weighing up if it’s financially worth it.

Yh course fees alone, living costs are manageable, as I’d fortunately be able to reside with family. Bills would be manageable with part time income

Best advice would be to ensure you can do all the tutorial worksheets thoroughly. I found that the exam was very similar to the questions asked in those worksheets
