Hey,
Has anyone else thought of / had a total career change from beauty? Because this is what's happening to me right now and I'm feeling a bit down and confused.
I have been working as a mobile therapist and also massage therapist within a Physio clinic for four years now. After spending so much time with the physios, I decided that I would love to be a physiotherapist.
I looked into what courses I needed to do, I enrolled, and then I applied for 5 physiotherapy programmes. Baring in mind I have four years experience of working in a Physio clinic, and also open uni biology modules... I didn't get any offers for ANY. pretty gutted to be honest. I really had my heart set. Anyway, I have appealed one of my 'rejections' because their reason was that my course I'm studying "does not articulate" with the Physio degree. Which is unfair because prior to applying I specifically asked the uni which course I needed to study, and they told me the course that I chose is fine and relevant! It's been a couple of weeks now and I have been told that someone will get back to me with either an explanation or even an offer.
In the mean time, since I have no offers, I have applied for another course that still has places: adult nursing. This course definitely still interests alot me even though it wasn't my original choice, but what can I do I will be surprised if I get accepted, but if i do i would accept the offer straight away! The uni did tell me to give it a go since they haven't had as many applications this year.
Anyways, so whilst all this is happening, i have been thinking of alternative career plans...I noticed on Gumtree an opportunity to start up a salon within a health centre/ gym. I have now had a couple of meetings with the manager and he is keen to have me on board.
Basically I just feel so confused now. Opening a salon is risky financially, but I know it has potential to work. But if I'm honest it is my back up plan. If I have the choice I would love to go to uni while I can. I just feel quite crap to be honest, just waiting around for these unis to basically reject me. I don't know what's going to happen and I feel so confused.
Has anyone else been in this situation? I would love to hear your stories xx
