So, I've graduated high school from CBSE, with Physics, Biology, Chemistry and Informatics (Informatics replaced Math for me). Naturally the intention (due to parental influence, same old, same old) was to do Medicine. I got into the foundation year program of a university, but found out a few days ago that said university wasn't the best for Medicine. Along with that information, I sort of got a mini-career guidance counselling session, and since my Chemistry and Physics aren't great, and after learning a bit more on what the journey in pursuing a career in Medicine is like, I don't think I want to do Medicine.

I vaguely knew of other careers like Bioinformatics, and after doing a bit of research on it, I think it has piqued my interest. In all honesty, Biology is my favorite subject, and I've been getting more of a growing interest in tech (which I didn't think I'd ever have since I basically chose Informatics as an escape hatch from Math) but I'm open to studying something more if I absolutely need to. I know it's a long-shot that any Bio-related career would have a similar amount of pay to that of a doctor, but I'd love for your guys' recommendations or suggestions (while also factoring in job security, flexibility, competition, workload, A.I. influence, and Business potential). Also, what bachelor's should I pursue in university for said careers, and if I need electives for some of them, do lmk what I'd have to choose.

I will be taking career counselling too, I just want as much info as possible. Thanks in advance.

So, I've just graduated high school from CBSE, with Physics, Biology, Chemistry and Informatics. Naturally the intention (due to parental influence, same old, same old) was to do Medicine, but after a few weeks of thought, I don't think Medicine (or the Indian equivalent MBBS) is for me, simply because I'd prefer to not waste years of study on something I'm not all that passionate about, waste my parent's money and suffer with an immense workload despite the pay.

I'd still like to be connected to Medicine in some way, just not as a Doctor or Nurse. Biology is my greatest interest, and I've been getting more of a growing interest in tech (which I didn't think I'd ever have since I basically chose Informatics as an escape hatch from Math) but I'm open to studying something more if I absolutely need to. I know it's a long-shot that any Bio-related career would have a similar amount of pay to that of a doctor, but I'd love for your guys' recommendations or suggestions (while also factoring in job security, flexibility, competition, workload, potential A.I takeover, and Business potential).
