Glad you found value!.

Yoooooh! Sis Boni, I needed this one. Thank you so much for your amazing work. Believe me, a lot of BSc grads don't know about such things. Thank you!♥. Siyabonga sis Ayanda 😊🙏.

You are more than welcome! Share with more graduates!

[@karabonemudibisa3616]

Hey Boni, I won't lie, you're the best with such stuff. At first I used to say you're just showing people's salaries, then as time went on, I realised that there's more to that, you're empowering the black child❤

Thanks Bonnie for this informative interview, my son is also doing BSc so told him to watch it

[@vmmasango]

Thanks for this insightful video...i had the same problem but luckily i had enough information in looking for courses and i did BHSc in Medical laboratory science....and i now make content on KZbin and LinkedIn to help people with BScs to recover lost hope

[@liferesetwithboni]

Did you get into Medicine?

[@vmmasango]

​@@liferesetwithbonii ended up doing medical laboratory scientist, which is a BHSc amd not a BSc, and funny enough, we're a very understaffed qualification that is regulated by HPCSA...meaning most people with BSc have a similar qualification but different so they remain unemployable. So my field and few youtube videos is to shed more light on what to do to eorl in laboratory medicine if you find yourself with a BSc and no employment

[@liferesetwithboni]

@visionmasango I see, but do you realize why you are not attracting an audience on your channel? I actually thought it's a wrong channel when I got to it, very confusing, it says you are a comedian but I was expecting content on what you've mentioned here. 🤣

[@vmmasango]

@@liferesetwithboniI used to apply for MBCHB every year until I graduated my MSc, I lost interest after I’ve done research about what I can do with my BSc and MSc. After working for 4 years I’ve lost interest in health sciences, but my qualification and experience will have a big impact on what I wanna do. There’s a lot people can do with a BSc degree and it depends on your interest, we just need to do more research…also your channel is very helpful 😊

Unlike other health related degrees, podiatry does not have com serve or internship. You will have to apply to get a job or open your own practice rather . I studied podiatry for 2 weeks myself in 2021(UJ).

[@oliviajoans]

For someone who got into medicine ignorantly I find more scientists need to educate others about their journeys.

[@liferesetwithboni]

There aren't many opportunities for them to explore in South Africa for them to get to that level of being a scientist. I don't know if I'm making sense.

[@neomotlhacwi7077]

I’m in my second year of Bsc life science(biomedical science) and I always follow these kind of videos. My question is , How does one make it into the industry after graduating with a degree? Do we apply for being a cra straight away or must one do other things before becoming a cra? If yes then what should one consider? Is there any internship toward the field of career?

[@liferesetwithboni]

The answers are in the video, watch it and take notes. There is everything about internships, where to apply etc.

[@NtombifuthiMabusela-qw8uh]

You will compete with someone who did art, teaching while you did anatomy for 4yrs just because they have to bribe
