Advice on course

Hi there. I’m currently i’m currently studying medicine at Lancaster University and I’ve passed the first year and I’m sent to me to the second. However, I’m not sure if this is the course for me. I’ve had these since after I applied and got work experience (I couldn’t get any before due to Covid), but I’ve already applied and this was the course I was accepted onto and other plans didn’t work out so here I am. My main issue is that I don’t see myself in a role for caring for people, but do feel a compulsion to do something humanitarian. I would look at veterinary sciences, however, this would require taking another two years out after already taking a gap year. I’m also concerned that I will fall into the trap of hastily applying for something without any experience of it’s really like. My issue with other degree options os lack of certainty with careers and that they fall victim much more to the university you’re at. For that reason, I would probably consider changing university, however again this brings a lot of uncertainty. The point make a decision is coming up soon and my parents aren’t science based at all, so feel unable to help or advise in the matter and university tutors tend to shrug and say they don’t know either. This stresses me out a lot I’m a person who feels that they won’t be happy unless they’re doing something they really want to do and I already feel like I’ve made the wrong decisions many times before this. Any advice, thoughts or experiences would be extremely helpful and I would be very grateful. Thanks.
