My daughter has a Masters in Medical Physics degree for 2 years and is still working in a coffee shop. I’m encouraging her to do radiology as that’s what she has always been interesting but not sure what she needs to do. My other daughter did a Bachelor of Science/ Biology with honours – now she’s working in I insurance broking. My other two children are high school teachers but the two who follows the whole STEM vibe it’s girls in Science followed a Sham. No jobs in medical Physics as well as Radiology which she would love to study she would love research. She worked in the UK for a hospital on the UK as a Dosimeteist. I just losing options to recommend for her a she is still working in a coffee shop. She has applied for over 1000 jobs – had research published through the Mater. So many opportunities but none of the professionals follow through for her.
So is so open to studying radiology and has experience in radiation etc and a lot about radiology and is very interested to go back and study just so she can get a position in her area of interest. Any advice would be welcomed.
