I am 13,live in UK and have an ambition to become a doctor any suggestions?

Question

I want to become a doctor but have heard that the Government (in England) are cutting jobs. Should I carry my ambition or change my ideas?

Answer 1

i am also 13,and wondering wether to become a doctor,an arquitect,a lawyer or a vet. we've still got TONS of time to think,so don't worry about it yet. it is true that the Goverment is cutting jobs in the UK,and lots of young people who have studied to become doctors are ending up with no jobs.

i am living in spain at the moment, but when i am older i will probably move back to london. u could also think about finding a job in another country. but you can become whatever u want to become,just follow your heart, good luck ^^

Answer 2

No, dont give up your ambition. This country will always need doctors, policemen, lawyers, because there will always be people falling ill, people commiting crime, etc, etc.

It will be a lot of hard work, but im sure that you are well prepared for this. It takes a lot of commitment and determination. If this is your chosen vocation, then go for it!

You could work in the hospital, maybe you can be a cardiologist or even a surgeon if you want to be.

Answer 3

carry your ambition

Answer 4

Doctors are needed all around the world, especially specialists, so keep at it, with a growing world population and an aging population in the western world, it is a career that puts you in preparedness for the social changes that are inevitable, my best friend took a degree in accounting and a vocational qualification in hairdressing she was so distressed by the idea that she could be unemployed at any one time, obviously one with many real skills and aptitudes is a sensible person, just remember to get the best grades keep in touch with tutors and folks who can give you good references, and you'll be fine.

Answer 5

Dont give up your dreams

However to become a doctor u need really good grades (A*-B)  Cause so many people apply to be one,

But if its your dream just tough it up and fight through it

Answer 6

Only you can answer this one...if you wish to become a Doctor and it is in your heart, then pursue it. The world will always need good Doctors.

Well young man if that's what you want to do that's what you want to do. Listen young un, when you do your work experience bit ask your local A&E department if you can attend and grasp the REAL life of a doctor. If you still want to you MUST get A levels and go to med school (the nearest uni that does a medical degree). Knuckle down though mate, and stay away from the chavy council estate kids.
