hello everyone
i am in my final year of MBBS
i hate medical studies and always had an inclination towards physics and maths
got into med school because of parents will

i looked into various career options which involves quantitative studies

these were the 2 careers i could find

i was contemplating MS Biomed eng prog but when i found that i will have to take a number of cross over progs and wont receive any funding for the same i lost interest
to add to my troubles i didn't write my maths exam in 10+2 grade and since calculus is a prerequisite for applying in many technical prog i wont be eligible

another option is to do an MBA and get into finance (since i wanted to do quants ) but the problem is that i am not MBA guy and lack the interpersonal skills

please suggest me as to what i should do ....do i have any other options where i can study quants(maths)..... i dont want to get into research either
please help 🙁
thanks

That is a tough situation. Out of almost 40 medical specialties, you dislike all? It sounds as if there is no actual job that currently appeals to you. This is probably more of an attitudinal issue; I doubt that your combination of interests and qualifications just does not fit with any existing career in the world. An MS in biomedical engineering would be another degree, not a career; the job that goes along with that is BME research which it sounds like you do not think you like.

You might benefit from some mentorship from someone who knows you in person and who can help you broaden your thinking. American advice columnists would also probably advise you to deal with your overbearing parents and any latent mental health issues so that you can go on to live your life as fully as possible.

From your description of things, I would assume that you are most probably from South East Asia, most probably India, considering you are doing an MBBS, not MD and you were referring to 12 grade as 10+2.

Being forced to do things all your life probably decreased you interest in the medical field. My first suggestion would be that you reconsider your MBBS future. Medicine is a great field and since you have almost completed it, you could look into the various specializations and you might find something interesting that you might want to pursue.

Otherwise, have you considered a career in teaching physics or math?? Especially math. I doubt you would be able to find funding in any of those fields though. It is hard to get unless you have exceptional qualifications and even then, it is questionable.
