I would much rather make music than wipe shit off of old people. I would probably get fired for misplacing the fentanyl. My sister is doing her residency as a doctor in the ER.I watched her work one night and seing people die is not my idea of a good time. Of course I could probably make it fun with the right mix of opiate and epinephrine drip but still, hospitals are depressing.

Originally posted by Fledz I hope it's not because of that terrible spelling of unbelievable I should have clarified, I'm working in the pharmaceutical industry, not clinical research. If I said "unbelievable career progression" in lab work then you would definitely have a reason to laugh

no it was the blanket science degree thing that made me laugh. Something about someone having an undergraduate in science and making money seemed out of place.

Originally posted by DigiNut Not to nitpick, but I think "various" is the key word - how many find work within their chosen field? 90% is actually not such a great statistic. Right now that's exactly on par with the U.S. unemployment rate - depending on where you live it may even be higher than the unemployment rate. Some of the more expensive post-grad programs here actually guarantee that you'll find a job within 3 months AND above a certain pay level, otherwise you don't have to pay the tuition. Others are a little less aggressive but still post something like 98-99% employment rates, and within 2-3 months not 6 months. It may not sound like much, but it's the difference between 1 in 10 being unemployed (or employed in some totally unrelated field) and 1 in 100. Think about it.

various fields is just a term i used the course is called audio and video technology all the graduates end up working in television, studios, radio, or video gaming all fields which relate back to the course. 90% is very good is the uk if not excellent most people with degrees over here end up working in the civil service in fact id say only 40% make it into their chosen field.

Yea depends where you go really. It's quite broad but Australia has a very good science job market so the possibilities are endless.

Interesting. I didn't know health care workers could only find jobs in hospitals. Try not to hold strong opinions about some things that you clearly do not understand.

There is science and there is science though. There is more money in the music scene than marine biology in Australia...I would say most science disciplines lack job security. If you are a good musician you have the potential to earn megabucks. If you are a good (or bad) scientist you never will. Either way you have to be prepared to put your heart and soul into it for little financial reward.
@ OP - Ever thought of being an electrician? great pay, plenty of work and plenty of spare time to make music!

You'll still get a decent wage with any science degree though. With music? Yea good luck with that one.

Well to be honest about the music industry side of thigs from what I hear at university most academic musicians are either self employed be that in a band, or their own studio, or even configuring other peoples studios installing bass traps etc, or they teach, or the few make it into record labels as admin and things and work up.

Processing a highly structured and complex pattern of sensory input as a unified percept of "music" is probably one of the most elaborate features of the human brain.....understanding how music is perceived and how it may elicit intense sensations is far from being understood.

I assumed you were a real nurse with real qualifications. You did mention medical terminology that would make one assume you worked in a hospital.

And the part about strong opinions and not understanding, isn't that tantamount to why I responded to your thread on music education ?

no you don't.

Unless you are specializing in a particular field in science, your science degree ( lets say math ) is about as usefull as a BA ( music )

you will probably find that people with better language skills make more money than most people with an undergraduate in science.

Originally posted by DjStephenWiley Well aware of all these things. Can also spend two years to be a physicians assistant with any undergrad degree. I know an airline pilot who became one. I didn't go into health care just for easy money. I like helping people and it is a rewarding job. 6 of the last 7 years nurses have been the most trusted profession in the country, with pharmacists beating us out one year. Lawyers are almost always last, although I don't think they should be.

really pharmacists beat nurses out one year? That must have been a fluke. I know firefighters beat out nurses in 01 with the whole 9-11 thing. I don't see Pharmacists doing the same thing lol

but yea, I love music and would love to be studying it, it's hard for me because I'm going through a very tough LPN/RN program. Which I already failed once at in another institution where I was a semester away from LPN status. If I don't make it though this time, I just might do a CNA something.
