Is aesthetic medicine worth it? I have been offered a probationary role at an aesthetic clinic. Base monthly starting for the first 5 months is $7000/month, will increase to $15000/month after that provided I complete the training courses and hit my patient volumes.

I have to also pay for my own flight ticket for some of the training courses held in Korea and Europe.

Clinic manager is very demanding and expects top performance for top pay.

Do you have any binding obligations? What if you dont meet the targets?

15k is top pay meh?
Aiyah. Be honest to yourself.
U go do aesthetic becuase u dun have much skillset but lured by the potential good money.
U know what sounds familiar?
Property agents.
Low barrier of entry. Anyone can apply
Always hear property agents huat on newspaper or so and so friend property agent 2 years driving Maserati.
In reality most of them struggle.
U go property guru click on anyone and search for their license
Then can find out their transactions over the last few years.
Each house sell make max 2 percent comission...less if co broke and then need give 30 percent of this comission to their agency.
They work during weekends and during evenings


Who knows.
Maybe u will be the million dollar earning property agent.
But given how noob u are to need to come here to ask for advice, I highly doubt it

Sorry for being so blunt. But u do need some slapping and wake up Ur idea.

So yaya papaya the way you gaslight people.

Aesthetics has many many skillsets to learn that med sch doesnt teach neither does MMED GDFM

Its a different industry altogether.

Not everyone succeeds cos not everyone is suited for the role

You need to be yandao or chio for one.

Otherwise clinic wont even talk to you about joining!

Then learning these skills with needles is very important.

Just be careful and dont perform procedures that are too risky and dangerous that you are not trained well enough to do.

Successful medical aestheticians can earn a lot!
But its really very conpetitive too.
If you believe in yourself give it a go. Never know till you do it.

The true jellies are the ones come and ridicule.
All NATO. Stay in their sandbox. Talk big.

When I talk to property agent they also say their job very difficult lei
Need to sell
Need to market
Need to negotiate
Analyse location
Future trend
Know goverment policy
Handle loans
Handle paper work
Know fengshui
Catch ghost


Etc etc.

Lolz. Everything , even clean toilet need a lot of skill set ( trust me, my wife insist I learn)
Need to come here ask for opinion already know is cmi one la.
Pro one after med school already aim
Go for coc, attend conferences, pay 25k for overseas derm diploma
Do derm rotation , do plastic rotation
Weekend go help out for free with seniors who ok to take them
Built links with clinic and industry
One guy I know even go learn portrait drawing to learn about facial contours
Year 4 bond is cheaper to break throw 80k and gone liao.
That's dedication.

U think this will succeed or this guy who is focus on 7.5k Vs 15k or a demanding clinic manager?

Just my 20 cents lo.
I gas light people is your opinion.
Me knowing the reality of the situation is me.

Guys. Serious question should I drop out of medical school overseas. Failed medical school again this year, have already failed in year 2 and year 4. Have to repeat those years because Australian Uni does not allow carrying forward of credits for the passed module.

So I am already 2 years behind my peers.

And now I Failed again in final year!

Parents want me to repeat again but I don’t know if I can handle the emotional trauma. Already wasted so much time, original batch of Singaporean classmates already working as MO in Singapore.

Parents are very supportive of me since young, they paid for me to study international school and I have been spending a comfortable life in Australia since start of medical school.

Been staying in a private studio and taking Uber almost everywhere, spending like $3000/month on food/transport, not including the school fees 85000/year and accommodation costs at 30000/year.

I feel guilty of spending so much money but having so much failures in my academic journey.

Parents are both semi-retired lawyer partners, they just want me to repeat final year again and pass. They even ask me not to worry too much and just study. But I am worried I will fail again and even if I pass, what if I burn out during HO year in Singapore?

But parents insist that I do my best, and they will help me pay for a private condo, if I successfully pass with a medical degree

Studied very hard and fail? Or not interested at all? If medicine is not your cup of tea. Why waste time?
