Courses that lead to high demand/well paid jobs

Rofls, aren't dentists doctors?

[iamtom]

Dentists are not doctors, no.

[shinny]

Depends what you mean. Dentists still have the doctor title. But they're not part of the traditional 'medical doctor' group really. Although dentistry is a subset of Medicine. Blargh.

High demand? Not law.

If you don't mind living in woop woop, mining engineering

edit:
to elaborate on this - resources is one of Australia's largest (if not THE largest) sectors and it's only gonna get bigger because of international interest. The Australian government foreign investment review board found that foreign investment was by far the greatest in resources ($80.9 billion in 2009-10); recent RBA research shows it's going to grow even more in the next 5-10 years. We're probably not going to run out of mining industry jobs for quite a while, and this isn't restricted to mining engineering although I think they'd probably earn more than the people operating the machines or whatever

not pharmacy either

hrmmm engineering is good especially civil... with all these natural disasters that have happened there are heaps of work for them for a while.

We had a guy who was a Geotechnical engineer (a degree in Geology/Geoscience/whatever and two degrees in Engineering) come speak to us in assembly. He reeked success and he reeked of wealth.

Asking questions is a sin now.

Maxilla Facial Surgery anyone?

Ouch.

Don't you need a dentistry AND med degree to be a maxfax?

I'm actually surprised about the little publicity max faxes get. Like, I only discovered them in uni and nobody else I know who isn't in my course knows about them. The combination of a dentistry and medical degree sounds insane yet it's not really highlighted like neurosurgeons etc. Or maybe it's just me.

OMFS is based on the "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" philosophy, where 90% of people won't make it into the second group.

[iffets12345]

what do you mean O_O

[Russ]

Getting a medical degree, a dentistry degree and then specializing isn't exactly easy

[iffets12345]

true true true true true! Hence those people deserve major respect and I'm surprised nobody knows much about it./
