I think pharmacy is something you also have to be quite keen for, it's not a great "fall back" option. And I wouldn't be set on doing GEM if you haven't started your first degree yet, those courses stand to change quite a lot in the next few years.

Why not just do pharmacy. It's a dead easy job and paid well. you just look at the prescription print out, find the drug in your storeroom and hand it over.

Job done. If anything goes wrong, just blame the doctor who wrote the prescription.
