yes dentists do have a lot. Thats why Im doing it. But its also true that they have highest suicide rate. Thats one thing I dont really understand. People have it MUCH worse off, i dnt say it makes sense, its just what they keep tellin us at uni.

hang on.. isn't your dad a dentist?

They keep telling you at uni so that you consider it.

In return there will always be a limited amount of dentists. That means top dollar for mundane work.

That means more people wanting to be dentists, who are 'suggested' the fact that dentists are suicidal...

Its a merry go around conspiracy!

muski dnt care two figs for the profession. Im just looking forward to working 6 months and being free to do what I want for 6 months, cos doing that much work I will still inshaALLAH be earning more than my dad earns now.

I aint in it for the job, im in it for the moneys.

hahahahhaha somebody who's honest!

I am soooo sick of the med school people and their self righteous diatribes about how they want to "save the world" and such - we all know its about money.

whose dad?

Mine?

my dad definitely aint a dentist.

just coz ur uni ppl are telling u that, doesnt make it true - have u ever seen the actual statistics? u shouldnt just believe such rumours... 🙂

It was one of the facts I read before my uni interview. Look I aint too bothered really.

Believe it , dont believe it. Why are we wasting time on discussin the suicide rate of dentists. yes I knw i started it but now im stoppin it lol

muskwhose dad?

No Aasiyahs!

But that's wrong... lol her dad isn't a dentist.

The reason I thought that (follow me on this one cuz its weird) is that Aasiyah reminds me of Hermione Granger - I have no idea why lol so for a second I confused you two.

lol but then I thought "well wait that doesn't make any sense considering what shes said in the past"

Aasiyahwhose, mine? nope! :|

lol right... see above explanation.

And don't laugh too hard.

How long you got to go with your work? Is this the 10000000000000 page assignment?

In my second year at uni, I had 6 exams in 6 days. (I realised afterwards this was against uni policy... too late to do anything.)

To compound the situation, I had to attend a cousins wedding in Pakistan just before.

I got back to the uk 1 day before first exam (I had not taken books etc with me.), and spent the first day acclimatising, as my books were at a flat at uni.

I arrived at my flat about 2 hours before exam. Tried to study, but was tired. I had a nap, and half an hour before exam I started to study. (I had not even attended (many) lectures in the subject... so it was not revision...). I did pass, but not by too much.

I wasted my time at uni, and was pretty stupid. (have I mentioned I forgot to hand in some coursework worth alot? I still have it at home... all completed!!)

Moral of the story? things can always get worse.

Is this coursework or exam?

(by finals I take it you mean exam...)

lol I just finished a minute ago.

This isn't the 10000000000 page assignment, i'm starting the real work on that next semester

OUCH.

Thats absolutely brutal - i'm facing something like that this semester with "doubled finals"

And yea finals = exams BUT for my conlaw final I have to turn in case briefings of all the cases we did this semester (there were 50) they have to be a full page single spaced. That doesn't even get graded or taken into consideration with the final... if you don't do them you fail.

So... basically it does not matter what you actually write?

easy. :twisted:
