What should i study (healthcare and maths in one)?
I’m a student about to enter to university. I get good grades, but I’m undecided on what to study in uni. I’m looking for something related to healthcare, best if its with children. My fav subjects are maths and science, i do pretty well with them, except for physics. I want to make enough money to live comfortably and a degree that works worldwide and in demand. Pediatrics is in my mind but I would have to go through the whole process of taking med and then doing internship and specialization, which is not my goal since I prefer not interacting with adults. Ask any other further questions. Thankyou!
