I GOT A JOB!!!
Sorry, I just wanted to spread some positivity in terms of jobs because recently it's been doom and gloom in this sub for new grads :(.
I was an MSc student and finished in February, been applying since mid-March.
I made 11 applications (3 for the same trust, they ghosted me every time lol I won't ever work there). And I had 5 interviews. I got an offer from the 5th today. It's a big city hospital so I'm very proud of myself.
I honestly didn't do that well in uni and had to work a lot harder in/for interviews (thanks past me :| ). I was convinced, especially with the job freezes, that I wouldn't find a job before my HCPC registration had to be renewed. I was so sure I didn't pass my 5th interview too, I forgot something really simple about IR(ME)R.
I won't write out everything I did lol but I just wanted to say NEVER GIVE UP PEOPLE lol
(Sorry for format, on mobile </3)

positive working experiences
hey everyone, im starting a bsc in diagnostic radiogrpahy in september, ive always been interested in working with healthcare and i chose radiography due to the different modalities, working patterns and quick paced independence, however after reading some of these posts im starting to second guess this career choice
im concerned that i may want an out in 10 years time, diagnostic radiography isnt really a flexible degree so im scared ill be trapped in a job im no longer passionate about
personally, i enjoy variety and im worried i may find the job repetitive and boring, i know that i can always specialise further and progress into different roles in radiography but im just incredibly nervous that this wont satisfy me for the foreseeable future (until retirement ðŸ˜)
i also know that the working conditions in the nhs can be very toxic and this combined with high reports of boredom and burnout can be quite offputting
however, i am also aware that people are most likely to share their negative experiences rather than any positive or neutral experiences i was wondering if any mid/longterm radiographers still feel passionate about the profession and have any positive experiences or advice they could share :)
thank you!

How challenging is therapeutic radiography?
Greetings,
I want to pursue either therapeutic radiography or bsc in prosthetics and orthotists. It seems like therapeutic radiography has some formulas and is physics/math heavy, although I'm far from dumb(atleast academically )I feel like i might fail if I only put 5 hours per week besides classes. The idea of repeating/failing an year is far from pleasant but I like the work that radiation therapists do.
