I’m in year 12 studying a-level maths, biology & geography and am beginning to wonder what I want to actually go in life.
I’m mainly interested in careers within science such as biomedical science, biochemistry, genetics, earth sciences, neuroscience, etc. Or even chemistry? However, I’m not really too sure where some of these degrees would even lead me?
In my head I see myself in about “5-7 years” working as a scientist and wanting to travel to various locations in the world. Bit optimistic, I know. I’m not looking for a job that requires travel by the way, I’m just looking for a job that allows me to do what I want to do and earn money to travel but of travelling is an aspect of the job I would definitely take it.
My question is what sort of degrees do: biomedical science, biochemistry (willing to do a foundation year to study this degree), neuroscience, genetics, earth sciences and similar ones, what sort of jobs will I be qualified for after? Is it competitive? Is there good job security?
Please any help would be lovely, thank you.
