Is it really THAT bad??by (no login)hi, I'm a year 12 student in australia and i need to fill in my uni selection form in a month. (you have to go to uni and do a bachelor of health science in order to become a podiatrist)podiatry is on the top of my list so i've decided to do some research on it. so that's why i come across this podiatry forum. However, this forum sort of scares me, because there are soooooooo many podiatrists here complaning about their job, complaining about how they're totally underpaid and need to clear their loan and stuff. (and i've read someone saying that they actually cut old lady's toenail for a living.... i don't wanna do that!! <-- at least not everyday) firstly, i want to become a podiatrist because i knew that this is a profession that you can help people, plus, there is a skill shortage of podiatrists in australia and there are NO podiatrists in Hong Kong (my birth place) so i'm thinking that if i become a podiatrist, i would be able to work in both places. however, i do want to have a life where i don't have to worry about money, is podiatry really underpaid?? (or is it just in america) and another question is that do podiatrists have to do a lot of paper work?? (coz i HATE writing stuff...) any answers to my questions will be appreciated. thanks Elaine from IP address 60.231.116.129 Goto Forum Home |
