need some med advice 🥹
[TLDR: Failed 2 subjects, need advice. Open to all options (continue med as irreg, transfer, stop and work muna) but need suggestions and where to go or what to look for]
hi there! Just finished the school year (YL2) and things are not looking great 😭 Managed to pass all but two subjects and flunked the remedial exams by a few points. Currently in the process of deciding how I should go on from here. Parents are supportive but one income household lang kami and yung main provider ng family namin is on the verge of retiring due to age na. Sakto lang yung duration ng last work years ng parent ko sa four years ng med school and if I repeat a year baka hindi na umabot sa Year 4 yung budget namin.
Am looking for advice on what to do. Open naman ako to transferring or even stopping med for a while but literally ang plano ko was to finish med on time so medyo nawindang ako sa pangyayari.
Basically:
If better to transfer: where? anong requirements? is it possible to transfer as a 3rd year student para hindi ako ma delay? Hopefully within Manila area lang sana yung schools
If better to stop muna what jobs can I take up? bio grad from big 4 school (graduated in the last 3 years) but no work experience since dumiretso ako ng med. open naman ako to non-science related jobs
If better to continue and become an irregular student with just two subs (since hindi ata kami pwede mag overload sa school ko), anong pwedeng jobs na flexible ang oras or can work around my status as an irreg? or meron bang mga side gig that can let me help a little sa expenses ng family ko
ayun lang thank you if umabot ka pa dito sa dulo but just hoping to get input from other dokkies out there as the first doctor sa family medyo wala akong mapagtanungan 😅
