Kinnie you young. Stay in school and learn and come off the internet when you in class. We already saturated in Tuner with teenagers
I wasn't in class, im gonna have to choose which class I want, science, business ect and thats why I made this post so that It can get help me understand what im getting into.
I remember how all thr rich parents made sure their kids did sciences. Wonder where they are all now?
I did business and sucked at it. Sucked at physics and chem.
Book smart and street smart is two different things. Book smart dont apply to trinidad, supply and demand laws dont apply here.
Anyhow, I had to do physics as part of my degree. Never picked up physics so fast in my life. Today its my holy grail. If you come from nowhere they will tell you that you destined to fail (in school). I would love to meet some of my high school teachers that said id never amount to anything. I would love to hear what they have to say when I tell them where I reach in life and to f**k off.

Yes, provided one can afford the tuition etc. I believe it's best to pursue it in one of those foreign schools as well.

Lets say I wanna pursue medicine, after I get my undergradute (bachelors degree) in medical science I need to go abroad and study in a medical school, where do I go? Which country does UWI give scholarships to?SimSimmer69 wrote:Mark007 wrote:SimSimmer69 wrote:You can always become an airline pilot. It's a very rewarding career.

True. These days you don't really need tertiary education to become a pilot (although I recommend it), just lots of flight time and money for flight school. As I mentioned to the OP, quite a few large airlines are on a massive recruitment drive for young pilots and if the OP thinks he's up for it, a career as an airline pilot (once started at a young age) becomes very rewarding.

Oh and after I complete the medical school abroad, could I come back with it and work in trinidad?
Or is there a process?

After studying for 5 years at Mt Hope, Jamaica, or St George's Grenada, you do an internship at any of the local hospitals. Once you finish, have to wait for a job typically at one of the RHAs. If you get thru, you are now a House Officer. Some run with it for a few years while others who have the funds specialize immediately.
You usually have to go abroad (most choose the UK) to specialize in a certain field eg Dermatology, Cardiology, Urology, ENT, etc. Yes you can come back to work in Trinidad after getting your specialist degree but make sure there is a demand for that particular field, and also if the RHAs and private sector is hiring specialists. Again, goes back to pay as we have specialists in the hospitals as house officers and they are waiting for a promotion.
I don't "have" to specialize in anything, its optional correct?The_Honourable wrote:kinnie wrote:Lets say I wanna pursue medicine, after I get my undergradute (bachelors degree) in medical science I need to go abroad and study in a medical school, where do I go?

I study here in Trinidad (Mount Hope) I get my bachelors and medical degree, and I can work as a doctor here but if I wanna specialiaze in anything I need to go abroad (preferably UK)
So I can be a doctor here in trinidad but if I wanna specialize I need to go abroad correct?
Btw I wanna be a OBGYN

You don't need to specialize at all. There are some doctors who are house officers for decades for different reasons such as lack of funding, marriage/children responsibilities, no guarantee for promotion by the RHA, location of study, or they simply content.
As for your previous post, you don't need to go abroad as you can do some of the specialties locally. OBYGYN is one of them that is available locally (stand to be corrected). Competition for spaces may be high (not for all specialties) so if you get thru, well done. At times, foreign universities in partnership with the RHA recruit doctors for a particular specialty where the tuition costs, accommodation and the RHA hiring you afterwards are worked out. If you want to do OBYGN, I highly recommend you seek out a doctor who specializes in that field who can give you full details and experiences.

It seems like you like science fields doh. Run with that for now.
You in form 3 doh. It's good that you thinking far ahead but goddamn.
You still haven't been on this earth long enough to know your true interests, pursue some hobbies.
This kind of drive can take you far, but it can also lead to indecisiveness. Take it light, but not too light.

How about you start by changing your attitude Miss. If every time you people don't tell you what you want to hear and you throw a tantrum, you will get nowhere.
Lmao yeah I know that trinidad hospitals aint "high class" but is ight, so far obgyn is the only thing that interests me and im gonna pursue itMiktay wrote:OP...sounds like youre still searching for a vocation to pursue.
Note there's usually a vast difference b/t a vocation and a calling....the latter being something u would do for free.
The happiest people are usually those who get paid for their calling and have a balanced lifestyle...friends...family...community...church...etc. So now IMHO iz the time to effectively search high and low...for a suitable vocation...by meeting people in the field....volunteering...working part time or starting your own lill business from home.
Does Couva Sec have a career day? If so that may be a chance to meet face to face and ask question of professional in the fields in which you are interested.
Bear in mind that in the Medical Cartel....younger doctors have to pull a heavy workload to subsidize the lifestyles of older doctors...and many public hospitals in sweet T&T...dont have functioning equipment and nuff prescription drugs due to socialized medicine.
For eg. Pardner of mine (OBGYN) had to walk with his own soap cuz POSGH frequently didnt have enuf when he was scrubbing for a procedure.
