But it's not a dead-end career, I could go into research, specialise in different areas, or just remain a GP.

There's more choice than most

I was good at Maths but found it pointless and souless.

Doesn't mean I'll go around saying it is totally useless compared to History.

"cutting edge," haha

Though yeah, I've never understood people liking history, I just assume they like doing it because they hate sciences and maths and stuff.

Is it not really boring?

So?

I just enjoy learning, I'll be 21 when I finish.
I won't be in debt like many others, will have enjoyed the experience without regretting not going when I'm older.

Being 4 years ahead in a probable dead end career which I'll be in till I'm 70 doesn't bother me.

Medicine prospects isn't that great. I've talked to some new doctors at my work and they're on massive shifts all the time.

I am the exact opposite, I 'love' maths and have found pretty much all the AS/A2 modules easy, whereas you'd have to had paid me a great amount to take History, I found it so irelevant and dull. Hence why I ended up taking cutting edge subjects like Physics and Computing instead.

I want to do medicine because there's a certain job at the end of it, and if it's not for me, I can specialise into something more interesting.

If I did something like history or maths, I'd just worry that when I leave, I'd have exactly the same job prospects as when I went in.

I am pretty sure they screwed me though.

So does History though, so do many subjects.

Maths is so hard
