I would absolutely love to study medicine and become a doctor, but I'm just not smart enough and I don't have that DRIVE. I was just looking at some of the GCSE/A Level requirements for medicine and they seem so unobtainable. I'm predicted a mixture of A*s, As and Bs at GCSE which I think would be great, but never enough for medicine.
I was thinking of nursing, but I was in hospital over the summer (my appendix decided to perforate) and I saw how hard nurses worked and how they had to deal with moaning kids like myself, for little pay which is a concern for me. I was thinking maybe this isn't for me, and also I would seriously be the only guy on that ward if I was a nurse there!
So, I've been looking for something in between these two career choices/courses for about a year. By this I mean a career where I can work in a hospital, get into courses with the grades I've been predicted and get good pay... Something in between a nurse and doctor academically and financially.
I'm just very confused about what I want to do with my life, I would love to work in a hospital, but I'm also thinking of other things; for instance graphic design, or law (I'm pretty good at English but my school wouldn't let us study it for GCSE).
Any help and reassurance would be nice! Thanks.
