Hi. I am very worried about my future esp finances. I am working in healthcare but I feel very drained. I am thinking about going for clinic assistant or dental assistant type of role.

Could you share more on what are your worries on finance? How would switching jobs / scope help with finance?

If what you meant is that your current job is both stressful (draining) and not paying well, then suggestion would be to spend some time learn how to make money from other sources of income. Investing, trading, side hustle freelance etc etc. find one that is feasible for you.

If you want you can check out my IG @richlifewithdavid where I share more on money making strategies, money mindset and money management hacks. I think I recently talked to someone in a similar situation as you and the individual found it useful to have chatted with me. DM me - I’d love to be able to see how I can point you in the right direction.

Unfortunately, healthcare jobs in SG as not as well decorated and paid and recognised as other countries. If you transfer to assistant types of roles, you will still face similar issues (eg facing demanding / self-entitled patients). The main difference is just if you choose private or public healthcare. They offer different perks and shifts. But, you might still feel equally drained at the end of the day due to the current healthcare labour crunch.
