Nurse

Although the Florence Nightingale nurses-as-angels image is as strong as ever, the profession has moved on leaps and bounds.

Physiotherapist

Physiotherapy is an incredibly highly sought after job where even getting onto the degree course can prove tough. However, if you do succeed then you could find yourself working with some of the best sporting teams in the world.

Therapist

When your friends are feeling sad, what do you do? Give them a hug, let them talk for hours and be a shoulder for all the tears, even if it takes weeks? Or do you just turn away and hope they’ll stop crying of their own accord? If your answer was the more caring option and if you can think of nothing better than helping others, then maybe it’s time you considered a career as a therapist.
