I (19F) am currently studying a bachelor of social science psychology, however I hate it and desperately want to leave it.
I have two options for which id be interested in switching to:
A bachelor in education (primary), leading to becoming a primary school teacher,
OR, a bachelor (or whatever courses a pathway for this is needed) in radiography to become a radiographer.
Education and teaching had been my first career choice during highschool but I eventually was talked out of it and into psychology due to the low pay and heavy workload as a teacher. It is what im leaning more too and think id like it/be good at it, but there is a doubt in my mind, esp every time i tell someone, due to the low pay.
This is where radiography comes into my mind. I had never thought of it as an option up until recently and the only reason I was interested in it is bc 1. its good money and 2. its hands on helping people (I would prefer to do ultrasounds), however I am worried abt the maths aspect.
I have dyscalculia and have struggled with maths my whole life, I did not do a maths in my final year of highschool, nor did i do a science. So i am worried about the struggles i might face and was wondering if people with knowledge on the courses or career maybe able to help me gain a better understanding on what my best choice here is.
Ultimately id love to go into a career where I am helping people hands on, and making decent money to be comfortable (as to my families wishes).
Is it even realistic for me to do Radiography and medical imaging with my lack of a maths and science prerequisite? I also didnt get the atar...
