Originally wanted to be a doctor but my GCSE results have sort of changed that. So now I really don't know what to do, I've always had three routes which I've thought about taking: medicine, teaching or television.
I'm doing Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Psychology at A-Level.
I'd love to write for television shows but the pay is awful so I wouldn't do it as a full-time job. I've thought about, after finishing A-Levels, taking a gap year and applying for the BBC Writer's Room Shadow Scheme to learn to write for Casualty. If I went into TV, I'd love to become a producer/director on top of writing.
If I went into teaching I'd teach at a secondary school, teaching Science (specialising in Biology and Chemistry at GCSE and maybe A-level).
If I stayed in the medicine route, I'd probably go for a paramedic role, and try and work my way up to a consultant paramedic.
What are your opinions on this? I'm very passionate about all three, so it's not so much a case of which I'm most passionate about. I'd also enjoy whatever job I went in to. I could always become a paramedic and write for Casualty alongside, although that sounds like a lot of work... (It can be done though, Holby City had a writer back in 2007 who was a doctor and wrote for the show alongside his everyday career.)
