Medicine & Health Sciences

There are loads of options apart from 'doctor thing' which are:
Bachelors in the following subjects followed by Masters and higher studies for a good prospect
- Anatomy
- Biochemistry
- Physiology
- Microbiology
- Zoology
- Botany
They really possess excellent academic value especially for the first four, if you can pursue them and go high up the ladder with degrees you will definitely land up in a medical school/ Dental school which although might not give you a chance to be a doc but to make DOCS, studying microbiology can even give you a job in a food processing company as a research scientist like one of my friends she did Bachelor's and master's in microbiology currently she's working for general Mills Mumbai as a research scientist earning 50-60k although she joined back in 2014, so these are the subjects which can provide you with a window of opportunity, provided you get a right mentor, have a positive attitude, persistence, & most importantly patience as these degrees take a time for anyone to reach a level. Either you can search for a job in a biomedical company, you cud b a faculty in a med/dent school or you can keep your research going on. Hope you make the best decision.

Future Perspectives: In most of the cases, paramedical students get jobs even before completing their course. Initially, they are placed to basic profiles which increase, together with their remuneration, as they gain some experience. Students who wish to gain better opportunities in the field may prefer doing undergraduate in paramedical streams. After that, the doors to the innumerable opening in public sector also open for them.
Job opportunities There is no lack of opportunity after completing top diploma and degree program courses in paramedical Science. As stated above, a large number of paramedical practitioners get placed during their studies. The formal placement starts from the final year. Initially, the pay scale remains low, because the candidates are selected as trainers. After completing 6 months or one year of their practice, they get decent packages.
