<< < (2/3) > >>

TrueLight:
yeah or you could do science... and major in both physiology and pharmacology... they go well together

although you won't become a pharmacist....so eh if you like drugs and how it affects the body etc do pharmacy
and wat do u want to do with physiology? become a physiotherapist? or more research? physio is bascially the how the body functions...

iirc pharmacy does require it - well at least for Monash

Greggler:
Physio is a highly rewarding job. I did work experience at a hospital and worked for a few days in the physio department and on a daily basis teaching stroke patients to walk etc. is quite amazing.

Although its hardly a glamourous lifestyle, its not paid that well (around 35,000 for those a few years out of uni) unless you want to move into private practice in which is hardly as flexible and a lot more demanding compared to the stability of a 8-4 hospital job.

Ofcourse there are chances in the sporting field, yet it is a highly competitive field that usually initially starts as a volunteer/part time job whilst working in a hospital.

Pharmacy i have no idea, i've always personally envisiaged a pharmacist as simply someone having all this knowledge attained during uni, but simply restricted to a dull and dreary deskjob (owning a pharmacy or whatever), and that has never interested me as i have always wanted to enter the medical field due to the fresh challenges it provides every day
