Greetings,
I am having a dilemma as to whether I should do Pharmacy(@Monash) or Sci/Biomed(@Melbourne Uni) if I don't get into Medicine. Possibly, at this stage even considering Nursing.
I want to ideally pursue something in the neonatal path, but still have not really decided as of yet.
However, I am scared if I go into Sci/Biomed and not get into Medicine as I would limit my options to find a job the following year. Hence, I am inclined to study Pharmacy but I have heard it is nearly impossible to one find a job after it, and that it is a really tough course.
Also, in regards to Nursing the reason I am thinking of doing it, is because that if I do, I hear it's a lot easier to find a job after it---but the catch is that it very low pay for the job you are doing. As others would tell me. Additionally, I want to have finished my course by 21-23yrs old ideally, I am 17 now.
So Basically...
I want to pursue a career as some sort of health professional, preferably working with children/babies and the elderly. The thing I am looking for is Job Security, Decent Salary and most importantly really it's just helping people, in any way I can.
What do you guys recommend I do?
Thank You
PS: Please feel free to recommend other courses and other types of health professionals that you think I might enjoy.
BTW I am not considering Interstate options at the moment.
