Complete Carrer Change - Help and Advice Needed.

Hey guys,

I've recently decided that i want to completely change the direction my currently career and life is going and have started putting some serious thought into a career as a Doctor.

My current career in events and marketing is fun but not satisfactory in the slightest.

My plan is to study A level Chemistry and Biology over this next year at night school as will still need to work full time.

Subject to grades (and I recognise that I will need 2 As), I will then continue onto University PT studying a Science, Psychology or Maths.

I know this seems a bit long winded but am aware i have to go back to the basics as my original A levels were in subjects not relevant and only C's.

Does anyone think this is crazy? Also how difficult will it be studying A levels again after all this time? Has anyone got any experience of doing this or studying these subjects many years after leaving school? Is this the quickest and only route i can take?

Thanks guys, looking forward to your responses...any info and advice is greatly appreciated.

Doesn't sound like you're from the US, nor trying to get here. This subforum doesn't have much help to offer, if so. There is an international section on SDN where you might find help.

Best of luck to you.

Judging by what you wrote, as Midlife noted you're clearly from the UK (A levels, using the word "maths", et cetera). Our school levels and grading system are completely different from yours and thus cannot accurately assess you and your chances at your country's medical schools.
