I’m currently in yr11, my grades are quite high (7-9s) and im struggling to decide between medicine/dentistry and cs.
for my A levels i will be taking either:
Maths Bio Chem
Maths Physics Chem
Maths Physics Compsci
I am passionate about healthcare AND cs however i can’t really decide between them. I enjoy biology and chemistry and i also have a good understanding on the human body and I would love to learn more about it. Also, the pay is quite good starting from 30k. however it takes YEARS of studying.
I am also passionate about Cs and I enjoy programming and the theory side. I absolutely love maths and physics more than any other subject so I think this puts me more towards cs. however the market is extremely saturated and it is difficult to get experience as a beginner, and it seems quite daunting to get into. the pay is alright but i feel like medicine is better pay-wise. I also like the idea of working from home and work-life balances. Furthermore I also want to go into entrepreneurship possibly and I feel like cs is better for that (free-time wise and networking wise). However I prioritise my salary a lot and ultimately I just want the job that pays more so my family can benefit.
Please can you guys help me decide?
