    hey,
    i am currently studying dietetics which i am not totally happy with. I have an offer of physiotherapy but the problem is that as i have completed first year already i have to pay fees of 7,522 and i am really worried about paying out this kind of money. What if i don't like this course either? Any suggestions?

    How sure are you that physio is something you want to do? Have you done as much research as possible into some of the careers and the day to days aspects of these careers that physios have?

    Physio is a hugely rewarding course because you get trained to help people in a very physical way, it's very hands on. The 7500 may seem like a lot but spread out over a couple of years paying back a loan, as long as you stick with physio it will be worth it.

    There's nothing anyone can really say to you we can't tell you if you'll like the course or not.

    Be very wary about physio... Half of the graduating class this year aren't working as physios! Many physios in the hospitals are working on month to month contracts too...

    The government created all these new places in physio, OT etc, however, this isn't being matched by the HSE funding more posts. Typcial Irish scenario... :)
