Reply to comment by FireZeLazer in Hi! I’m Dr Lucy Maddox from Bath University (UK). I’m a clinical psychologist researching compassionate care and things that can get in the way. I have a new book out called A Year To Change Your Mind, about how psychology can help with everyday life by UniversityofBath

Ah, I think you misinterpreted my question. I was asking whether it lived up to your dreams. Is it as satisfying as you hoped?

I'll check out the course, thanks. And true, there's definitely various options to consider with careers, it's not all or nothing. I'd also consider applying to graduate entry medicine which is again super competitive but I think the experience I'd be gaining would tick a lot of the boxes for that. Did you go down the support worker -> pwp/ap -> doctorate route?
