What's your favourite part about your job?

Huh, I'm pleasantly surprised to hear that covid hasn't affected your treatment much.

I work in a cancer treatment centre (in the UK) as a trainee in radiotherapy physics. Someone much higher up decided that staff have to work from home whenever possible and patient treatment was initially restricted to more critical cases only (although I think they're starting to open services back up now).

I'm slightly dreading it in a few months time when everything is fully open again and we have a huge amount of patients with further stages of cancer that probably could've been prevented or managed if we started working on them earlier.

When you say "creating narrative about a change" what exactly do you mean by that?

Is it just how you would explain why you're interested in this new field, and how your existing skills can be transferred?

I find it slightly odd reading someone criticise doctors who try to push a certain specialty, and then immediately follow that up with trying to push another certain specialty.

Depending on what you're interested in, even an associates may be a total waste of time.

What would the degree be in?

Are you after a general education, or something that leads into an "obvious" career path? - by which I mean, would you be happy doing a rather general science/arts/language/humanities major and figuring it out later, or would you want to do an engineering/teaching/whatever program with the intention of becoming an engineer/teacher/whatever?
