Lol. You wanted to be a Vet too?nerdsforever said:If I ever work, it would have to be:
- actuary
- accountant
- pharmacist
- vet
- medical scientist
most likely, accounting. I like indoor jobs. I dread walking outdoors coz I get headaches easily and I like sitting down, which is also why i like theory work more than prac. I'm too lazy to get up
how cool.Iol, I like animals - I think they are much nicer than humans. Animals can be great companions when you feel lonely. I tend to like careers in the banking or medical/health related fields. I've thought of being a doctor before, but I think it would be really hard, so vet would be better.Aquawhite said:Lol. You wanted to be a Vet too?
at Usyd
My parents have never wanted me to be anything in particular. If my parents wanted me to ever go into a particular career I would go into something I liked in an entirely different field. It sounds like that your parents want to control your life a little more than they should!nerdsforever said:Iol, I like animals - I think they are much nicer than humans.

I still havent decided what my dream career would be. It used to be accountant or actuary because my mum's friend's daughter is one and I used to think she was cool so I wanted to be like her. but I've thought about it - With accounting, you do the same things everyday! It seems a bit boring, so I'm heading more to the medical/health related field.
Anyway, I'll be setting my goals to be a medical scientist. The uai is only 91
But my parents want me to be an accountant, so yeh
Naughty parents... lol.
damn..lucky..my parents always wanted me to be a doctor or a lawyer..Aquawhite said:My parents have never wanted me to be anything in particular.

A UAI of 91 is still quite high and not an easy achievement to make. I am trying to get 92.00+ not for my course but really as a personal achievement. To prove to myself how much I can really achieve if I try and set my heart out to do something. I hope you get the UAI you are after (95+) though.
In a way i can relate.... though that sounds very cliched!xXmuffin0manXx said:
being a doctor or lawyer! I really don't think your parents should pressure anyone to take a career path. Sure it would be okay for the parents to have ideal career paths for their children but it's when they take action to almost ensure that they HAVE TO do what their parents say is wrong. Haha! It's an asian thing around my part, and probably because naturally all parents want what's good for their kids but it does sound selfish when it's not the path you want to go down. In some ways I believe that your parent's expectations of you has a lot to do with your financial status and circumstances. Some parents are so exhausted by the weight of mortgages and heavy debt that they simply place too much hope on their children, and the greater figures = the better payout.xXmuffin0manXx said:
Agreed. Parents think its all about the uai, but its also about your interests and skills needed. If you dont like the job, then you obviously wont do a good job at it.akrinis said:
lucky you!!! yeah. a uai of 91 is high, but I want to prove to my parents that I can do it when I try. haha I'm after 95 + because my parent's friend's daughter got that, and I want to see if I can beat her!!! Looks bleak, but its just an aim I want to try getting at.Aquawhite said:My parents have never wanted me to be anything in particular.

No, thanks teaching would never be my cup of tea... And with a UAI of 98 you can do soo much more with that. e.g at my school the dux got 98.65 and she went into journalism! WA! I suppose if it's a passion when they can do it....nerdsforever said:
not mine though!
But I doubt I will .. I'm going in there with no preparation!
Silly child!...Doctor Jolly said:Accounting and hopefully get into Ernst and Young, but I'm also doing my UMAT, so if I pass, more doors open
