Not sure studying physiotherapy is a right thing for me

[Fyzzio]

Hi,
I love your thread - it's simply brilliant. Rest assured that everyone goes through that stage and there is nothing wrong with a little self-doubt...

1. Prospect - Is physiotherapy really oversupplied in Australia at the moment and is not a long-lasting and well-earning profession as I want?

From seeing all those Physios who currently move over to Aussie because of work - I don't think it is oversupplied. But then again - as to choosing a career - go with what your heart tells you. There is many Physios out there who do lack any kind of passion for the job. The others often go miles to find the right job and will find it at the end. You said that you like the learning and you seem to have the passion, that's the best start.
As to the well earning bit - hm ... you can live from it, but there is only very few Physios who are 'rich'.

2. Desirable attribute - Do I really need to be an ultimate footy-driven buff man like all my friends are? I am aware of many different fields that doesn’t involve being sporty, but I’m thinking that it’d be pretty hard to establish a professional relationship with other physios when I don’t share much in common with them.

Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish. What kind of class are you in? Actually, you don't have to be sporty AT ALL, not even if you work as a Sports Physio. You should start worrying about your friends though, if all they do is being interested in sports. Open your eyes, mate. There will be people out there who can see beyond the world of footy.

3. Alternative pathways - If physio is not my kind of career, then what shall I choose to be instead?

Difficult to say. Sometimes you have to try things before you know whether they are right or wrong for you. However, with a Physio degree you have sooooo many options as to where you will take it. You do not even have to work as a clinician....

Now, this was grandma speaking, hope it helps...
Cheers,
Fyzzio
