I have been graduated for a while, but my grades were not enough for admission at a good university (three schools in 6th form due to work moves and MH issues).
It is important to note that I am not in Britain, but somewhere in South America, so different systems, yada yada. That said, there are no electives in my country and so I have studied the whole lot of academic subjects.
Humanities were always my strong suit, to the point my year 9 teacher and I were exchanging books with frequency. However, as much as I love it, I am struggling to find a job that focuses on them but offers opportunities of specialisation abroad, as well as enough pay to live comfortably.
Biology is something that is growing on me. I prefer animals to plants and really like knowing how the mind works. Other fields I am interested in are genetics and fertilization.
I have crossed Medicine off the list because of the difficulty of being accepted and the course load, plus my emetophobia. Crossed off Business out due to the hypersaturated market. Crossed off Law because of my disbelief in the system. Crossed off History because there is no option but become a teacher.
The courses right now in my head are Psychology and Biology. I fear for Psychology because it is also hypersaturated, but it is something I know I would love doing and pays well, once you acquire the right clientelle. I fear for Biology because outside the topics I enjoy, I dread the others.
I am introverted, but would like working with people in a calm enviroment.
Any ideas?
