    What's the appeal of Law?

    'Helping people' is technically redundant if you consider that a vast majority of lawyers go into commercial/corporate law. Most lawyers don't see the inside of a court room. I think that's what tommykins meant. Yes and unfortunately there are also some Legal Aid or community lawyer positions...

    What's the appeal of Law?

    By the way, 'helping people' is not what you'll hear from most law students/graduates, by far. They know they want that high paying law firm job, at least they're honest about that. But you will hear it from most med students. If helping people was the real reason, you'd see much more of...

    What's the appeal of Law?

Considerably fewer number of law graduates intentionally...

    Am I too late?

    tf dude, I know that, bradman had mentioned it above. But late rounds are a bit harder to get into if the places are all filled, and that's why I said "IF you've missed the current uni rounds (including the first and late rounds)..." all is not lost. :)

    Am i doing something wrong?

    Yeah, take your resume offline. Put it back on after you've removed your personal details. Can the mods take it off for the OP until he gets back? I can help improve the presentation of your resume though, so shoot me a pm when you get back. I'm going offline soon, if I'm not around I'll get...

    "teen love"

    There is a physiological theory for this also. The teenage years are when puberty takes place and the body undergoes tremendous physical change from the adolescence of a 'child' and into a transitional period before adulthood arrives. One of the key facilitators of this change are the hormones...

    Spend a day at a hospital, particularly at the ER and I guarantee you'll see much much 'creepier' things than 'elderly's teeth'.

    Nuclear Medicine

    Thanks for that explanation, now it makes sense. In that case, does radiology encompass a spread of all those areas? Because I had always thought that radiology involved aspects of all three areas you described too.

    Med or dentistry

    That's very good advice. On the other hand, I also know people who are very very sure that medicine is a career that they really really want. And doing medicine, under whatever circumstances is the only thing that will make them happy and feel fulfilled. So they would always choose medicine no...
