medicine or psychology and job?
To change medicine to psychology or not?
I’m basically studying medicine to become a doctor at a Univeristy in UK. They made me repeat the year and redo everyttttttthing becuase I failed one exam last year. I just found out I failed the same exam. But i have a chance to resit in summer as i did last summer (also failing) so the course isnt going well and im gona be 22 soon (scared of missing marriage train).
I do really enjoy psychology. My bf (emaraty) (im british but arabic) says if I chane course our life will be much better because doctors have to study all the time, too much stress, night calls, on calls, even after you graduate you still gotta take exams. On top of this I feel im studying it just to pass exams as I reall hat dead people (dissection- which is why I failed the year)
I have two options
1- resit this summer ..continue medicine (which will take 4 more years, 2 years F1 F2 and 5 years to specialise) so Long!
2- switch course from now while iv been given chance t do psychology starting this september but at a bit of a lower ranked uni (doesnt matter as long as British Degree as planning to move to abu dhabi get married to that guy etc, and starting salary will be 10k /month) + at same time do a modelling job (i got it)paying 5000 pound and more a month — already made 10 k from it
So what do ou think honest answers would be appreciated.
The reason I couldnt leave medicine is because worried I may regret it but if I change it means me and my Bf can graduate together as I will have 3 years and he will have 2 (hes 25 and im 21)

what would make you the happiest? marrying this guy or becoming a doctor? when my mom was marrying her first husband his mom went to her and told her that she shouldnt become a doctor because he wouldnt like it or some bullsh*t like that. so she listened and gave up on her dream and became a teacher instead. she loved that too but she still regrets not being a doctor. she said that shes happy with decision tho cuz of her first 2 daughters she wouldnt have had them if she had become a doctor so i guess you have to decide whats more important. you could have a great life with her husband and have a family and be happy being a psychologist. or you could aim for the gold and retry to become a doctor. it all comes down to what you really really want in life. you could still marry him and have a family it just might take a little longer cuz of your studying and such. you shouldnt live with regrets just dig deep and trust your gut.
