Unsure what healthcare course to do
So I'm applying to university this year however dont know what I want to do.
During GCSEs i was sure to become a doctor and study medicine however I became less interested in medicine and more with dentistry.
Once I started year 12 Ik dentistry was too hard for me to get into so I chose pharmacy. I was definitely sure this would have been my job, it had good pay and seemed interesting. Work experience totally ruined this as all i did was hand medication to patients and I noticed the pharmacists in the back working on their computers. I thought they would have made medication etc but no, they just work in silence (sometimes an occasional chatter) for nearly 9 flipping hours.
This did not seem the right career for me.
I was hoping ppl could give me sum career choice inspos. I want a career in healthcare ofc (since i do bio and chem a lvls) but i'd like it to be hands on and keep me busy since I get bored quite easily.
I'd also like it to have good pay (minimum £32-35k) which would increase with experience (as I know some careers you're capped at a certain amount no matter the experience).
Id still love to do pharmacy but im just so scared since i heard tht is an oversaturated course with less jobs and i dont want to have to sit around waiting for my job
