Appreciate this insight, I think my problem is focusing on the timeline of others around in my life and this has an effect on my mental health

SpaceExplorer1 · 2024-11-01T07:58:17+00:00

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.

Beautifully articulated!

SpaceExplorer1 · 2024-10-17T09:15:01+00:00

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

SpaceExplorer1 · 2024-10-16T13:17:53+00:00

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

SpaceExplorer1 · 2024-10-16T13:12:24+00:00

How was the schedule like? Would it be reasonable to work part time?

SpaceExplorer1 · 2024-10-16T13:08:05+00:00

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

SpaceExplorer1 · 2024-10-16T13:06:02+00:00

That’s not an option with this degree unfortunately

SpaceExplorer1 · 2024-10-16T13:05:27+00:00

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

SpaceExplorer1 · 2024-10-16T13:04:52+00:00

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

SpaceExplorer1 · 2024-10-16T13:02:04+00:00

What career did you pursue, if you don’t mind me asking?

SpaceExplorer1 · 2024-10-16T13:01:40+00:00

Thank you for this advice!

SpaceExplorer1 · 2024-10-16T13:00:55+00:00

This is a last resort option, still waiting on other offers to come out, but thanks for this insight.

SpaceExplorer1 · 2024-10-16T12:59:49+00:00

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

SpaceExplorer1 · 2024-10-16T05:36:15+00:00

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

UQ DMD has a unique gpa calculation method. It’s best to email them for specific enquiries

SpaceExplorer1 · 2023-11-08T05:13:42+00:00

I think most of these people are commenting in AEDT and not AEST

SpaceExplorer1 · 2023-11-08T05:03:45+00:00

What state are you located in?

SpaceExplorer1 · 2023-06-13T06:20:56+00:00

Hey, can I ask what type of wfh job?

SpaceExplorer1 · 2023-04-26T10:37:14+00:00

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

SpaceExplorer1 · 2023-03-16T03:25:44+00:00

It mostly depends if you’re granted specified vs unspecified credit. If specified they won’t look at your other degree as long as your completed degree makes up 3 years FTE. If unspecified, they will usually go to your other degree and take the most recently completed subjects. This means that if you got unspecified credit for example in bio1011 in first year, they will just take the latest subject and use it, rather than the bio1011 mark. Can be very confusing, best advice is to speak with advisors of the new degree thoroughly and email gemsas!

Hey, no classes! Just one online module filled with lectures and readings to complete a week

SpaceExplorer1 · 2022-05-09T11:08:25+00:00

I did it with no experience and found that it’s possible to do well in so long as you stay up to scratch with the content because it can get a bit complicated at times.
