Is medicine the career for me?
Hey everyone
I was planning to study medicine, but didn't get in. So I went onto a computer science course, however, I dropped out as I disliked the course and the maths too.I am now on a gap year and unsure whether medicine is the right course for me and whether I should re-apply.
Pros:
I enjoy biology in general, and to some extent interested in body anatomy
I am better in biology than in maths
I like to say I am a medical student
Cons :
Medicine course is 5 years, which I feel is long, and in addition to that there are training years.
I at times feel squeamish (I noticed this in biology dissection lessons in High School).
I suffer from stress and headaches.
Assuming the above information, I would like to ask you guys here, what course/degree you would advise me to do, as I am completely stranded not knowing what to do next,
Thanks
