"My Possible/Probable Career"

Right, after much consideration, I think I'm going to become a dentist. "Why a dentist?", I hear you ask. Well...

If I do well in my Biology and Chemistry GCSEs this summer, then I will defintely be taking both at A-Level (amongst other things). If I succeed in my A-Levels then I will go to University and study Dentistry (Can someone confirm that you can get a degree in Dentistry for me?).

If and when that course is completed, I've had what I plan to be the best 3 years of my life and I'm £21,000 in debt, I will, most likely, go to the US to work.

This is because in America, there is no NHS or equivalent service, meaning all healthcare is private, which for me is wonderful. Especially as most of 'em are extremely vain and will offer me somewhere in the region of $14,000 for a good job.*

I have heard and worked out (roughly) that I could earn somewhere in the region of £200,000 - £300-000 per annum working simple 9-5 hours 5 days a week.

Future officially planned.

It's so nice getting straight As at AS-level, ain't it?
You need feck all marks to pwn an A-level.

Technically, I could have gone straight to uni after last year, I got enough points for it. Go team.

To be honest, there are many science-avenues I would be willing to explore.

Dentistry just seemed to be the easiest way to get lots of money relatively quickly.

I know that isn't very deep, but that's me.

It's in some other thread somewhere, but English Lit, Computing, History and Business Studies.
And yes, I do Business Studies because it's easy. It sort of feels like cheating, but I don't really care.

AAAA at AS, got 90/90 in History unit 4 in January. History/English I need about 55% in my final exams in the summer to get As. Sexy.

Grr. What subjects did you take/taking?

better paid than 300 grand a year?
I very much doubt it.

dont worry about student debt, it will cost you about 20 pounds a month to pay back, if you dont pay it back after 15 years they forget about it.
dentistry? really? why not forensic criminology or something? would be a lot more fun and better paid, you could be a crime scene investigator in america!

Some people say A levels are a step up from GCSEs but trust me, they're a whole new flight of stairs. For GCSE you can get A's in subjects by revising the night before. Nowhere near it with A levels. And then idiots say they are getting easier.

Thanks for checkin' up on that.

Im predicted straight A's in my separate sciences at GCSE, so as long as I 'fulfil my potential' I should be ok.
