    I don't know..

    I won't do nursing.. or midwifery.. or social work... I don't want everyone to hate me lol

    I want to do something health/science based... not chemistry.. hubbys BIL works in the labs there and I hate him with every fibre of my being!.. and a few more.. he is on my 'die NOW' list.

    Biology has always been bit of a passion.. I thought maybe bio-med science? .. but I don't know...

    I wanted originally to do paediatric physio but I can't do it here and I can't travel over 100 miles a day to the nearest place that does.. I NEED to sleep and I NEED to speak to someone abotu this I think.. except I don't know nayone and right now I'd probably just cry on them.. rapid fire 'get a grip' tablets needed...

    See... dingbat is what I is!


    I'm new and therefore don't know what you've been studying so take my input with a large pinch of salt :D

    What about doing biological science or even environmental science? Within environmental science there are options like epidemiology which are health related and very interesting.

    good to see you on your hurt toes again! :j
    dang about your course! what are the options!? what COULD you study?!
    give us ideas and we'll help you :D

    Hi Pigpen, glad you are not a speed bump after all, although you sound like you had quite a fall. Hope you're all healed up quickly.

    Sounds like you are all over the place - not sure if it will help, but my DD doesn't know how to get what she wants either (only 19 so still going through that 'stage' :rolleyes: ) - she has an idea, but not sure where to go with it. she spoke to that careers advice website that they are advertising at the moment (the one with the puzzle piece in the side)...

    Anyway, they were quite helpful (makes a change for a government thing I know...), so not sure if they might be able to help you decide the right direction or not http://careersadvice.direct.gov.uk/ there is a phone number you can call too or just click through the different options.

    Good luck!
