Want to drop out of Healthcare

I am going into year 2 of Diagnostic Radiography. Honestly I'm beginning to not enjoy my course. I love uni life and have made great friends but I'm slowly starting to realise a healthcare job may not be for me. I disliked hospital life throughout my first year placement; How
some staff treated students, How some patients spoke to me, How I've seen upsetting things that I still catch myself uncontrollably thinking about. I found myself beginning to feel impatient with patients as placement ended and I know healthcare workers should not be like that. I think I should go into something non health related but I don't know what. Any tips or advice??
Thank you!

A degree is a degree, even if you never work in the industry.

what have you decided, I am in the same position as you doing radiography going into my second year. I feel that healthcare is not for me as well. it is so hard to make that decision, isn't it?

I haven't really decided anything yet. Its really difficult. My main worry is that if I drop out I won't get into anything else. What are you thinking of doing?

I feel like I should drop out but what will I do next, what if I don't like something else as well, what happens then? should I do a postgraduate and change into a different field but will I be ok the next 2 years? what uni are you at?

Im having the exact same thoughts as you. I'm at UWE, where are you?

this brings back placement memories * I hated My placement in the NHS so I dropped out of uni in my second year. whole thing was horrible the staff treated students terribly and in the end just didn't seem worth it for me so I left, it wasnt worth the stress and tears. I understand how you feel, I'd say Look at the reasons you're doing it, if you don't see yourself making use of the degree and are just completing it to say you have a degree some might say it's a waste of time, you could reapply for a different course (what I did after taking a break) and start looking at jobs directly because you'll leave uni with a certificate of higher education anyway (most cases), it's a hard decision and I hope you make the right one for you,

Hey,
I’ve withdrawn from my healthcare course and I was wondering if you had to pay sfe of any fees.Im a bit scared as I left at the start of April and unsure if I have to pay any fees to student finance.
