Hi,
I've just graduated from university with a Biomedical Sciences degree but now I've hit a bout of anxiety and some form of depression in terms of what my future holds for me in terms of employment, lifestyle, career, salary and family life in general.
For most of my young life I've wanted to become a doctor and failed in almost every step and hurdle along the way. My passion has always been there and I never could imagine doing another job apart from it. I've applied for GEM SO MANY times and failed I've now given up.
I know there are almost next to none high paying jobs in the Biomedical market and part of my depression is due to the fact I know I could be making considerably more in medicine in a much more rewarding job because I'd love to be helping people as well. Then comes the prestige of medicine and how they're more likely to have much better life prospects in terms of job stability and finding their right life partnersdue to their job success.
i just need help getting over it and whether there were any opportunities in making a fairly good salary elsewhere because I've wasted so much money going to university for a degree where graduates earn next to nothing.
edit: I know this thread may come across as egocentric/overtly materialistic but medicine has always been my primary passion and I know I'd enjoy the job of helping people, with the added bonus of it being a good paying career. I know in my current capacity I won't be able to get a good job with a decent salary so I need to find a job with my degree that pays fairly well.
