I've just finished my degree (1st class BSc Hons in Biomedicine from a not-so-good uni), completed over 4 years around full-time work.
I have a place on a graduate scheme, but deferred for a year as I was pregnant but unfortunately have miscarried. I can't rejoin the scheme this year, and I'm wobbling a bit over whether it is the right path (accountancy).
I also feel a bit lost; after four busy years, I now have this year of nothing. I'm considering doing an MSc via distance learning around work - maybe something like epidemiology, microbiology or public health?
I preferred the research, analysis and data in my degree, less keen on practical lab work. I have no idea where I'm going career-wise, I have mainly worked in admin roles. My mental health is a bit shit at the moment but I think having something to focus on will be better.
I was going for accountancy as I'm good with figures, can draw meaning from data, and it's a stable, well paid career but although I know my way round/quite like a good spreadsheet, I'm not passionate about accounting.
However, if I do an MSc it needs to be something that makes me more employable. As much as I'd love to study diseases of the Victorian era, I doubt it'll pay my mortgage. Any suggestions? Is studying epidemiology madness?
