It is more the 'being pushed' into specific career paths. Why force me to train as a cardiologist when I really don't want to be a cardiologist? I would be miserable for every day of my life and I would be crap at my job. When I'm older I wouldn't mind working somewhere remote as long as I was doing something I want to do.<BR/><BR/>Ndrphunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13620720615388010194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14167058.post-9033934813403156112007-05-06T15:48:00.000+01:002007-05-06T15:48:00.000+01:00Hey hope you're doing all right.It's similar here ...Hey hope you're doing all right.<BR/><BR/>It's similar here in Australia, students aren't given a Medicare provider number until they qualify further (on the job experience, for a couple of years after graduation at least), but if they want one, they need to accept jobs wherever they are, primarily away from cities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14167058.post-5631881614692675332007-03-23T20:55:00.000+00:002007-03-23T20:55:00.000+00:00ps was for zoe btwps was for zoe btwdrphunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13620720615388010194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14167058.post-29595096930883530052007-03-23T20:49:00.000+00:002007-03-23T20:49:00.000+00:00Thanks for reading.

Sadly, it's so complicated that it hasn't really clicked with the general public but it does pass the 'taxi driver test' if you talk about it during an average 5 minute journey. I'm being stoic. I'll take any job I'm offered.<BR/><BR/>p.s. great to hear from you. Are you in brum living with c? (heta said something like that).

In fact - given level of training and skill you guys display, and the cost of the toys - my thought was actually "test pilots". <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the link, and good luck with the lottery.<BR/><BR/>Aphra.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
