Haha yours are opposite to mine. They just keep reminding me to choose domething more practical. Not med but something that can actually help people like nursing for example.

Considering you're a male, that's quite odd. I know a few parents who have pushed their sons out of nursing because it's a 'female' job and instead make them pursue medical careers instead.

Because deep down they know that i'm not that smart. But apperantly, after you finish nursing you can have a chance to study med. That's what they told me anyway

Helping people does not depend on the profession, but rather on the person.

Anybody can help other people. I have heard of tradies who regularly do discounts for customers who are pensioners. That's a form of helping people. I have seen teachers who deeply care about their students. That's a form of helping people. What about those engineers who design roads so we have efficient transport? That's helping people.

At the same time, I have heard of doctors who have been embroiled in legal trouble for questionable conduct, being pervs and looking/feeling females for example, not to mention doctors who are money obsessed and don't care about their patients.

Don't be fooled into thinking that if you're in medicine, you're helping people. Helping people comes from the heart and no matter who you are or what you do, you will have the chance to help someone else, whether you are a plumber, an engineer, a teacher, a social worker, a computer programmer, a dentist or a doctor.

You can do graduate medicine as long as you have finished any undergraduate course - this is for Monash though, for UoM's MD, you'll have to fulfill certain pre-requisites.

Although it is preferable that you do a science based course though, because the GAMSAT does test basic tertiary level science including biology, chemistry and physics, so if you are doing another degree, make sure you take these subjects as electives or at least be prepared to learn them on your own.

yep! nursing does cover some basics of tertiary science. But i know you may need to cover some material more indepth for the GAMSAT
