Hi,
I have decided today I want to leave academia. I have research experience and a PhD, publications, some lecturing experience too, but I just want to leave.
My ideal job would be health related, a patient-facing role. I did have a dream to be a GP but financially it isn't feasible now, and it is tough in the medical profession. I'm open to going into training again, but can't afford to spend more than 2 years (and don't want to take a loan out). I had a look at the Physician Assistant training programme but that is coming up very expensive too (and not sure it is worthwhile with a loan).
Any ideas please? Thanks!
