Dental Tourism Philippines

dental tourism philippines"dental tourism philippines"
Help me decide what course to take please?

I will study in a Uni here in Australia. I just cant decide what course to take. In your on point of view, which is better? also considering the future income i can get..

Psychology
Marketing
International Business
Management
Dentistry (thats what my father wants)

actually i dont really know what i wanted to be. please help me. I took tourism for a year in the Philippines (where im from) but i dont wanna be a FA anymore. I can also imagine mself workin in a big company, have my own office, or have a dental clinic maybe so that im a boss of my own.. what do you think?


You have to look at things in terms of the returns they will produce stacked up against the investment you have to make. As a dentist, you will make a lot of money. However, this means going to get a bachelor's degree, then med school, THEN learning to be a dentist. You're talking at least 8 years of your life for that degree.

Management, international business, and marketing are all good choices, but not the best. If I were to rank business degrees in order of income and job opportunities it would be as follows:

Accounting
Economics
Finance
Management Information Systems
International Business
Business Management
Marketing

As you can see, the three business fields you chose are at the bottom. This is not because I have a particular affinity or distaste for any of the fields (marketing was my first major, and management my second), it's about the realities of the business world. Marketing is very difficult to find a good position in when you graduate, and you're likely to be stuck in sales for a large chunk of time. Management doesn't mean jack unless you have professional training in another field already, otherwise you'll be a secretary for the first five years of your life. International Business is good, but you have to invest a lot of time in multicultural studies, so it will take you longer and your job opportunities will be sporadic. Management Information Systems (MIS) is growing in value, and I'm not sure its ranking is very deserved, and I might have to reconsider that in the future. It is invaluable to be able to build and quantify managerial databases. Finance is awesome, the problem is most companies are looking for finance majors with masters degrees in accounting, so you might as well do accounting. Economics is also a great option, but the investment is longer (typically you should go for your doctorate) and the concepts get pretty advanced. Accounting requires about five years of school instead of the standard four, but can get you six figures (100,000 US and up) within three to five years after college, and it is the second highest demand job in the job market at the moment.

Now, going into psychology, I wouldn't really bother unless you really love the subject. It is interesting and all, but that bachelor's degree won't get you far. You really have to get your doctorate if you are going to go into psychology, and that's about 7 to 8 years of commitment there.
