Primary Education Degree or PGCE
Hi,
I'm currently studying Medicine (in my first year) but hating it! I also can't see me doing another related degree, I'm just very stressed, not understanding it and becoming depressed.
I have always wanted to teach but pushed myself (or let myself be pushed) into medicine because everyone said I was capable!
My question is should I do a Primary Education undergrad degree or stick out another degree and do a PGCE? Which will give me the best chances of getting a job? Could I do anything else with a primary education degree if teaching didn't work out?
Thanks
Ellie

Any advice anyone?
Do what you feel most comfortable with. If your not enjoying it, go into primary ed, as do you really want to be doing it for how ever many years its for? Cant really help much more im afraid.
