What career options do i have A Maths, a B in physics n C in chemistry?

Question

Im eager to know how and why things work n respond to stimuli(both human & machines) and wonder how we can make things more efficient (for humans how best we can improve drugs so that people's health is not jeopardized by side effects of medication originally intended for helping them).Im a person who seeks to see people relieved of stress by as much help as i can.im also hard working,easy to get along with,and prioritize seeing the other persons point of view before rushing to conclusions.Im pretty strunded.by the way,there is no career guidance near me...you guys are my only hope!

Answer 1

First, in any career that you choose, communication will be an important aspect of the work.  Whether you are writing papers, presenting reports at conferences, or just speaking with colleagues, you need communication skills.  I recommend taking some courses in public speaking and writing (perhaps Technical writing or philosophy).

Next, your emphasis on Math and Physics points to a logical mind with a leaning toward numbers.  Computers and engineering are obvious areas that you can look into.  Experimental design may be another, not so obvious, career that you may enjoy.

Also, you seem to have an interest in the medical profession.  There are many fields in medicine that may appeal to you.  Find a doctor or nurse who is willing to take a few minutes to speak to you about the work.  There are fields like physical therapy, occupational therapy, or research technician that might be appealling to you.

My advice is to try to maintain a well rounded education until you have made a decision.  Speak with people in different professions and ask them what they like about the work, and what they don't like.  You don't need a career counsellor to make your decision, you just need informaiton from people.

Study your sciences and math, but also take courses in writing and the arts.  You will make a decision at some point and you will be glad that you have kept your options open by learning about many different diciplines.  Everything that you learn now will help you in the future.  Good luck!

Answer 2

in the end you have to do what you like. The best way to find out is to take career aptitude tests like this one http://gsx1.com/freeaptitest.htm and if you are lucky at the end they might even offer you a job, in any case they'll tell you what suits your own personality, based on the test you took.

there might be a few more tests here http://www.job--listings.info/

hope I helped, cheers

One of the good things about science degrees, is you can actually double major in a science and math in most universities with only a few extra classes. I would suggest trying this if you are real good in math.

Physics and Math can land you a nice job in a Research and Development (R&D) for many big technology companies. Real good pay too.

Chemistry can get you into the R&D lab for a drug company.

It sounds to me like you are aiming toward R&D.

You might also work in field testing, which is more of a mathematical job, as you need extensive math for statistical gathering. You would test technology and products that have been developed in the field. You would have to gather information and correlate data. This is especially useful for drug companies who need extensive proof that thier drug works in order to get gov't approval.

Answer 4

Sounds like engineering might be your field- human factors/ ergonomics?  Or maybe biology- you actually need quite a bit of math for biology.  

Best of luck!  There's a world more options out there than you ever dreamed!

Answer 5

I'm intrigued - why is there no career guidance near you?

.

Answer 6

doctor? perhaps i think u'll make it

Answer 7

Maps drawing.

Answer 8

Your marks reflect ability for physics/engineering.  Taking your interests into account, I'd suggest some form of medical engineering.  My boyfriend is currently doing a double degree of biomedical engineering and medical science.

Double degrees open up a world of possibility, you could combine some form of engineering and law, science and engineering, anything really, as long a university somewhere offers it (personally am doing a science/arts double degree)!  

It's great to see young minds so enthused about science!  Good luck!

Answer 9

I think your grades are good enough to get you into medical school to become a doctor of medicine.  Chemistry is what the universities look for so I think you should have no trouble.

Alternatively, whole your motives today are very noble in a few years after being a poverty stricken student you may wish to have a career in the finance industry as a trader or fund manager.  Usually a science, maths or economics degree will open doors for you.  If this is what you want then it is very useful to do an internship with one of the major investment banks (not the clearing banks) or fund managers during your summer hols.

You have decent A level grades.  Good luck for your future.
