Currently studying Podiatry and have the opportunity to jump ships into Nursing . I'm Looking at the pros and cons of both professions, I feel the podiatry course is much harder than Nursing and the rate of failed students across all yrs is very high. I also worry that after all the hard work I will be entering a market that has llimited NHS opportunities.

My peers are always speaking about starting private practice however I question just how realistic this is , when your in competition with other established practices, the NHS and they general Footcare workers. In a perfect world we would all start successful private clinics With an abundant amount of patients req MSK assessments, nail surgery and general pod stuff , but it's definitely not a perfect world.
Despite not being as interesting a job as podiatry and all the night shifts and stress u need to deal with , Nursing is a guaranteed NHS gig , with unsociable hrs pay, sick pay , holiday pay and a pension , plus all that high paying agency work.
I guess I'm just loooking for honest opinions from people in the industry , Is it going to be very difficult to make a decent living from podiatry in the current market ?
Thanks
