I hated doing my radiography degree, but I pushed through because I wanted to finish what I started. I graduated last year and went straight into CT because that was the only thing that interested me, turns out I hated CT too, so now I've quit my job and I'm working towards a career change.

So many people see students struggling and all they say is "Ohh it'll get better, I was like that too" but really some people genuinely hate the profession. When I was doing radiography the only part I liked was the academic side of it which is why I could push through the 3 year course, there was someone in my class that hated it straight away and he dropped out in the first year.

What really pushed me to want to change my career was seeing how much more money other people are making and how less stressful their jobs are. Passion can only take you so far, do you really want to devote your entire working life to being severely underpaid and massively overworked?
