Could someone please compare the workload of med/dent/pharmacy/physio? During degree and the actual job.
Random stuff about why I want to know, don't have to read...This year in health sci I seriously struggled emotionally and felt constantly stressed because I always felt behind (and really was sometimes) and overwhelmed with how much work I had to do everyday. Without any details, it made me turn back to a previous addictive behavior. My motivation in semester two it plummeted, and I had to struggle to make myself study before each exam (only studied 2-3 days in total for each) and left every one early because I couldn't find it in me to check my answers. I really don't think I could take another year like that, and while I wanted med at the start I don't know anymore. I'm honestly not particularly interested in anything anymore, I just don't want it to be a struggle like this year.
As I understand it med and dent have similar courses but dent is more lifestyle friendly. Not sure about pharmacy and physio.
I mostly want to know if it'd be better in the actual med/dent courses. But seeing as my main stress was over how much I had to know (not exactly getting in) I'm not sure.
Sorry for the long post, just really unsure and don't have anyone to ask for advice. Thanks
