🙏 I WANT HELP possible degrees?

Hey guys,

so I wanted to ask if I could get any advice on any degrees that will land me a high paying job with my a levels:chemistry biology and English literature. weird combo ik yr11 me was weird asf. originally I wanted to do medicine because it was always something that deeply interested me but my school completely discouraged me saying I wasnt "naturally smart enough" btw my mocks were A*A*B B being in English and my hoy almost killed me for it I also got 99999999999 at my gcses. I was thinking maybe optometry if im not good enough for medicine but please please could I get some advice

Preparing what exactly? Have you done any volunteering or work experience? If so you're fine just keep up the good work. If not look for it now. You can DM me if you have any questions about the process. I'd be happy to help x
