Since I was 14 I thought I definitely wanted to be a doctor, however at GCSE I did not get the grades (even though they are good) would mean I would be rejected by most medical schools in the current climate, and looking at the cons of the profession, I am not sure if I would be able to handle the stress.
Recently I have been draw to nursing, specifically children nursing, not because its the "easy option" but I prefer the option of being able to bond more with patients and having more of a life outside of work.
My parents however, believe that I should do a degree in biomedical sciences or something like that and get a "proper degree" because they believe that if i go into nursing I wont be "fulfilling my potential"or something.
Now, I do not agree with this, nor to i think nurses are dumb, im just looking for honest opinions on what I should do
Any ideas?
