I am in the final year of my Physiotherapy (or physical therapy) degree and have decided that I probably don’t want to work in this area long-term. From an EA perspective, I don’t think this career is the best way to do good. From a non-EA perspective, I don’t think physiotherapy suits me because I am a bit introverted and not that good at communicating with patients. I also prefer deeper and more theoretical work instead of practical/clinical work. My strengths are my knowledge of biology and anatomy and my passion for learning and hard work.
I am thinking of doing a Master’s degree in bioinformatics and working in biomedical research or something similar, but I am uncertain and open to other ideas. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or advice that anyone may have.
