Careers after a level
I do psych bio and chem for a level and originally I wanted to do dentistry however because the schools are so competitive to get into and you need really high grades, I was wondering what other careers I could go into that provides a high income but is in the medical field. I was thinking about taking a biomedical course after sixth form. Let me know if anyone does this course and how it is and what can you do with it after uni.

Hi;
Trainee BMS here in clinical biochemistry here (hopefully all going well, fully registered within the next 6-8 weeks...).
Happy to answer any questions you have on this if you have any questions about either the course or the job itself. =)
EDIT:
Will say being a BMS is not considered a "high salary" job, it's a very average salaried job (you'll earn the same as a nurse) after a few years experience (you'll earn more working nights and weekends obviously) but if you become a specialist BMS, that's when you earn above an average salary but getting the portfolio done (the registration is what I have nearly finished) is an absolute nightmare...
Having a BMS degree does not make you a biomedical scientist as you have to take the IBMS portfolio to become a member of the HCPC (there are other alternatives but this is effectively the most direct method for home students) as the portfolio shows you know the legal, ethical and knowledge side of BMS.
