Ok well i wanted to do medicine but the hours (including on call hours) im unsure of whether i could handle considering i would like a family too. Problem is there isnt anything else i can think of that id like to do. Im a very science orientated person and maths, <3

Any suggestions would be nice because ive no clue where to even start lol. Nothing that would have long hours more then 13 a day, thanks, btw im science oriented but lab work wouldnt interest me. And not nursing either.

Thanks for any replies

If you want to go into medicine, why not work as a family practitioner? I'm not that familiar with how things work in your country, but most doctors end up opening their own businesses and setting their own hours here. It does become easier to handle after you have sufficient experience and a stable source of patients.

What about engineering? Definitely an intensive math and science field, and very well-paid.

You have to work at least 5 years in a hospital after your internship and after you specialize before you can do private practice

My suggestion, next time you go to see your doc, ask them. See what they have to say about it.
