I’m 26 and will be 27 in October, and will be 28 by the I would start it. I did Biomed undergrad and got a 2:1. do u think that’s too old. Going 28-32 without a job a full time job… I don’t have any debts other than my student loan.. I could easily go in another direction and do an msc /phd route… my parents say I would be wasting my time and better just staying at this job and working up through the company. I currently work in admin as it only job I could get after graduating (crazy right) . It has good perks with 3 days wfh and flexitime. However I find it incredibly boring ..

I started my degree when I was 19 (2019) and didn’t finish till 2025 mainly due to pandemic and taking 2 years out + repeating a year. Now I feel I’m too old. I did have this fantasy of doing residency in America (avid greys anatomy watcher lol) but that seems impossible.

I graduated with a biomed degree . I don’t know what to pursue. I could do a masters in microbiology (as I get a 20% discount in tuition with my uni) then a PhD ..
or med school which originally was the plan or just do something completely different. I’m not really a fan of sitting behind a computer all day, then again I don’t know if I want the stress of a hospital. I did my final year project in RNA seq, that was interesting. Currently I’m working a boring admin job, I hate it … I wanna feel like my job has some meaning.

I 26m did my degree in biomed graduated 2025 , I think it was the worst decision of my life caused my so much stress, I dropped out then decided to finish it off. With the hope of going into medicine but then I’ve sort of realised I’m already having panick attacks at the thought of doing that so it’s not worth it. I’d much rather have a low stress job where I’m not responsible for someone. But now idk what to do, I did think of going into data science/ bioinformatics or even finance… right now I’m just doing an admin job and tbh I hate that. And kinda hate the office environment. Tbf it’s in social services so I’m supporting social workers with kids.. and the things I read gives me anxiety too.. so I need to leave that asap.

The application window for masters to start in September is quickly closing and idk whether to just apply to something now or just wait and figure something out. But office work is killing me. I doubt I want a customer facing role either as I struggle with social interaction. My parents think I’m wasting my time going for another degree and should just get a job with some progression …
