I am content to know that there is still a future in pharmacy for me. However, hospital jobs are extremely competitive and it's 99% chance I will still be slogging it out in a community pharmacy somewhere next year. Science/Arts is still on the cards though--I'm not that fickle minded. If I do not get a job offer by Sept 30th I'm applying through UAC for it. I cannot sit around for a year (6 months if I'm lucky) doing nothing. I have every intention of going back to uni at some point though, even if only for self interest.
Basically, I have about 10 backup plans:
1. Apply for metropolitan hospitals
2. Apply for rural hospitals <--currently doing
3. Apply for metropolitan community pharmacies
4. Apply for rural community pharmacies
5. Apply for Science/Arts, and between December and March go do something interesting, OR don't apply, take half a year off--go travel, work a bit more in my uni job, do some interesting TAFE courses (got my eye on a few), join and be involved in C&S at uni I never was able to dedicate my time too, indulge in some hobbies, and then apply for mid year entry. I might actually get lucky with mid year entry though, because even though the absolute number of positions available is far less, the competition is virtually zero in NSW.
