I wasn't smart enough for medicine :tongue:

I actually came across it searching for health professions, I was torn between therapeutic or diagnostic but diagnostics use more machines id be very trigger happy.

Only in STEM can objective truth be found.

However, arts and humanities also give culture and organisation to societies. You can't have a world of only science or only philosophy.

You get 2 A*'s in STEM subjects with just past papers and I'll accept your argument

mate you need a balance like u can't just be all science and facts and logic sometimes u need a bit of creativity that comes from non stem subjects as well as sciences
as Einstein said: logic gets you from A to B.... imagination takes u everywhere :P

Science in a way does involve creativity (e.g. Engineering and also programming in Comp Sci).

She said science and non-STEM.

That Einstein quote is describing how you have to also be an artist in science. The actual quote is “I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”

That's one field of it, diagnostic radiotherapy. Very interesting.

Diagnostic is all of MRI, CT, X-Ray, Ultrasound and Nuclear medicine, I went for it because how broad it can be, on my observational placement I was in a theatre wearing scrubs and a lead apron and got to see really cool procedures :biggrin:

I do feel that school and college does not prepare students well enough for choosing degrees, they need to promote other degree programs that aren't always in the spotlight.

I do Humanities subjects at A Level, they aren't easy but I find on here, if you don't do STEM, you are a failure according to users on here. I feel so inferior. :frown:

If you don't do STEM at Oxbridge with a clean sweep of A-stars behind you then you're a worthless human being in the eyes of TSR. :biggrin:

Just under half of the people nationally who take A level Maths get an A or above in it. When you consider this, I don't think Maths is as hard as it's made out to be.

I don't think anyone claiming to be part of the 'STEM master race' would agree that A-level maths, or A-level further maths for that matter, is hard.
