Career options: Lawyer or doctor

•

sure you may like stem subjects, but what's it going to be like when you do a level or a degree? would you still love the subject? many love chemistry as a science at GCSE but the moment they do a level, it's a different story.

•

public speaking is fine, you could research stuff around that, do you enjoy politics? economics?

•

Your GCSE English speech is probably good, what is it about, kinda curious about that. I assume you got a distinction which is fine.

•

i mean if salary is a factor, moving abroad would help with you. doctors vary, as a surgeon would earn more than a barrister if he is a good one. there's a doctor who i spoke to occasionally earned around 10k a surgery but went to Ireland to get it done. point being salary wouldn't matter much to both these careers as they both could out earn each other.

•

being a doctor is more competitive. with the degree averaging around 25k, and law being 41k but the places are more limited for med. and for law I think you don't have to do an exam but for med you do. for grade requirements med will be higher, in most metrics like GCSE grades med would be higher. but both applications aren't just based on one thing but a collective most of the time.

•

depends on the speciality. you'll do 2 years after uni, then training for the speciality which for a gp that earns like 70-80k is fine but others could earn more. junior doctors have to work a lot longer, sometimes without pay as let's say your shift ends or is about to but an emergy occurs you can't just leave.

•

yeah plenty, density as well, most stem subjects could work. but it's up to you to research.
