So Melissa what do you do? I'm intrigued as we were having an interesting discussion the other night
Some very interesting replies on here!
I'm at Uni at the moment - finishing up a double degree in Psych and HRM. The business degree was virtually a waste of time, and not challenging in the slightest. Have picked up a fair bit of good knowledge though, so not exactly regretting it. Psych is good - can be challenging as long as I do the right subjects.
I'm at a crossroads now, not sure where to head. The plan was always to do a medicine degree, so I think I'll be doing that next year - been working towards that the last couple of years, and all is good to go as long as I don't seriously screw up this semester! I'm working full time hours as well, I'm the supervisor of a Control Room which can be quite demanding time-wise.
I've just bought my first Investment Property too - Real Estate is something that I find very interesting. Planning on starting to build a portfolio as soon as I get good capital growth on my first.
Issue for me is - I've never wanted to be a doctor. Psychiatry is what I want to do, but this obviously requires med school and further studies after that. I could do my honors year in Psych and stick with Psychology, but I am worried that this will limit me down the line. The more educated and qualified I am, the better.
I need to work as I have a mortgage, and at 22-years-old, I don't know if I want to study for another 6+ years. I can easily handle the work-load and intensity of my current degree, as well as work, but medicine will likely be a lot more demanding. I really think it will be in my best interests to have a few properties under my belt before I turn 30...(don't we all!), and I think it is more than doable, so I am aiming towards that and therefore, need to work.
So, no real idea what I'm doing unfortunately, I guess I'm just studying for the hell of it at the moment. I'm at the point where I'm just confused and frustrated. I guess I'll be fine either way though, I think I'm just at that age..
