Prospects of a Medicine Degree outside of Healthcare?

Hi,
Does anyone know what one can do with a medical degree outside of healthcare? Or is it useless outside of healthcare?
Does my uni being an RG help?
Just want to explore my possibilities in case being a doctor doesn't work out for me.
Since it has no classification, would that rule me out for a lot of grad jobs that have need a 2:i degree or above?
McDonald's won't care about your undergraduate degree.

That's a good idea actually. But I was thinking more of the business/retail/finance type of job.

Why do you think being a doctor may not work out for you?

Through Grad schemes I believe......just go to one of their networking events or contact there graduate scheme people, happily tell you.
Good question, posting to subscribe. From what I've heard it puts you in good standing for other jobs as it's a respected degree.

Wow. Trolling on a student forum at 1 am on a Saturday. You obviously don't have very much going for you.

I don't think they are trolling.

Doctors barely earn anything, considering the hours they work.

I'm just inferring from his previous comment on this thread about the suggestion to work at Mcdonald's.
