Are there any work experiences or competitions for me? :)

❤️ Hey guys ❤️
I’m currently a year 10, aspiring for all 8s and 9s on my GCSEs and I think I want to go into medicine but I’m not sure yet. I know what you’re all going to say, “Just focus on your GCSEs” but I’m already getting good grades and would like to put myself in a better position for later down the line.
Ps. If anyone had any other career suggestions that would be really helpful. My best subjects are:
- Biology
- English language
- Drama
- History
Anything would be rly appreciated, thank you so much! 😊

Any research opportunities would be great. I have a research poster competition to offer you: https://nexuscompetition.carrd.co which is completely free, international and allows you to get your work judged by professional phd level researchers. The poster can be about any topic within any subject or combination of subjects, so perfect if you still aren’t sure about what you wanna do! Deadline: July 10th 2025 9pm BST

i would say not to go into drama unless ur absolutely 100% sure that's what u want to do as it's very hard to get a job in any other field with a higher qualification only in drama, if u think u want to go into medicine, they probably won't allow u to actually do anything medical-related if u apply to work at a hospital due to ur age but if u apply to do some work-shadowing (just watching) in different areas of a hospital, they may allow this (I also did this myself). that way u can get a feel for the specific area of medicine u want to go into, e.g. paediatric, surgeon, nursing, etc. work shadowing can also look good on ur cv as it could be seen as voluntary work
hope that helps

Thank u, this is rly helpful. Re: drama, I’m not thinking about actually going into acting cuz ik that’s a rly unstable job but to go into medicine, would it be good to get an a level in this as I’m pretty confident I can get an a star in it and many people have told me to do biology, chemistry and then some random other subject. Also, how important is it to do chemistry as I’m fine at it but it’s not what I enjoy the most. (Sorry ik I’m asking u a bunch of questions but u seem to know what you’re talking about). Thanks ☺️

Hey just a note on this most unis would also require maths. I'm not sure who gave you the advice to do a chill subject but most competitive med applicants would be doing at least three sciences/maths - you could do a fourth fun one if you want to though.
