Hey Ollie, First year medical student at Swansea here! Loved the video and the very open context around money, doctors, and the NHS. At some point during the video Dr Asher mentioned an excel spreadsheet, did you ever manage to get ahold of this? Would be a great resource for myself! Been a viewer for a while, pretty sure you’re how I managed to get into med school so also just wanted to drop a big thank you in! ❤️
Thanks both for the video. Is your GEM loan from student finance paid back at the same time as your undergrad loan, or is it combined into one big loan and therefore only one payment on the usual repayment thresholds? I’m considered GEM but already get a chunk taken from my pay for my undergrad loan, another from my MSc loan, and if the GEM loan is also added it would be like working in a high tax bracket.
So you’re telling me someone in a surgical training pathway in their late 20s to early 30s earns the same as someone who just went to uni, messed about, got a 2.1, got a mediocre job in finance and just works on excel and does jobs for their bosses with no pressure , nights and weekends !? Wow, is it even worth being a doctor or surgeon lol
Your comment sounds quite snobbish towards people who achieved a 2.1 at university and work in certain jobs. I hope you aren't studying to become a doctor as being judgemental is not an admirable quality in medicine.
@@lemonybeaver I didn't get that at all from the comment. That comment describes a large number of people. Many people go to uni just to get the qualification to work in an easy going, no pressure job and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I basically did exactly that. Went to uni, had loads of fun, put in real effort maybe 40 percent of the time, got my degree, moved to London, worked, travelled, moved back to Australia and have worked loads of contracts and earn decent money with hardly any stress. The comment isn't snobbish, it's real life.
This is fantastic. I am a good Dr but am financially illiterate.
Really interesting video. Some similar financial issues to Australia 🇦🇺
Hearing about the NHS pension was the nicest thing, it's so nice to hear good news for once 😁
