Biomedical science
Hello, I live in Manchester and was planning to study Biomedical Science at university in still in college right now . However, a lot of people have been telling me that if I choose this degree, I won’t be able to get a job afterwards, so now I’m feeling really unsure about what to do.
My mum is encouraging me to study Speech and Language Therapy because it’s in high demand, but I’m honestly not interested in it at all. I don’t want to spend years studying for a career that I don’t enjoy, but at the same time I don’t want to choose a degree that leaves me struggling to find work.
I’m feeling quite stuck and would really appreciate some honest advice.
The thing that’s worrying me is that, even with a placement year, I know people who studied Biomedical Science and still struggled to get a job afterwards. It makes me question whether it’s the right choice.
It also feels like every career I’m even slightly interested in seems to have people saying it’s difficult to find work, so I’m feeling really stuck. I don’t want to spend years studying for a degree only to end up unemployed, but I also don’t want to choose a career that I’m not interested in just because it’s considered a safer option.
