Yeah, grad frm ukm kl  biggrin.gif nice n strict training

Work in hospital is ok, stabil and can see many patient everyday. Just not the type of job i like lor  wub.gif  and in hospital, Dr always is the king o. Other rehab specialist wan to fight to same status need alot of effort and understanding of ur upper management and department, such as how many support they can gv to ur audiology part, especially budget and audiologist "power"

Prefer sales and marketing tat can run around. Tats is fews growing hearing aids company local, such like best hearing and oticonm thumbup.gif

Replied to TS, audiologist is better prospect  thumbup.gif  trust me

Yea, but for first year course only, of coz basic bio related knowledge is needed to understand the new knowledge u learn for this 4 years course.

Basic salary here: rm2700-3200 for fresh grad
Increment: 3-10% depend on ur employers
Incentive: some provide some said not ethical to provide even satu kupang  biggrin.gif  then all masuk company own pocket  icon_rolleyes.gif
Job oppurtunities: Not bad but restricted to few choices. Singapore always need alot of audiologist work for their country, sgd 2700-3200 for fresh grad too.
Job nature:

1) office job type: see patients, diagnose them, do ur part for case management, deal v company politics and bla bla
2) salesman type: go out to get sales and do PR for company, approach private/goverment sector or even Dr clinics so tat they "song" to get stock frm ur company. do after sales services part too.
3) hybrid type: (1) + (2)
4) product trainer
5) lecturer

Do remember always need passionate and willing to learn new knowledge everyday even after u graduate to help more ppl  thumbup.gif  good luck to u!

I would say when u study audiology, those thing u learn at form 6, secondary school, especially math n chemistry can throw aside d.
Not relate at all. Bio oso abit oli, physic cn say abit bit oso. Lol

Try avoid biomedical field. Salary low, promoted chances less, less chances expose to foreign workfield, work
Load alot, owez need to stand behind the field due to no contact to patient.

End up many of my friends with this degree rather work as insurances agent, salesman, medical products sales rep and etc job not relate at all. Main reason is salary too low. Oli Some further study few more years to be lecturers.

I do think if u interest in medical field, choose those professional cn contact v patients. U get more status and pay when u work next time. Good luck

hmnn.. which course which is related to medic field do u suggested?
