<p>I love human bio, but don't wanna be a doctor. Would nurse or medical assistant be good choices?</p>
<p>You could become a college professor or a researcher at a national or industry laboratory.</p>
<p>Why don’t you want to be a doctor?</p>
<p>Don’t bother trying the academic route.

<p>Physical therapy, Get an MD and don’t be a doctor teach or even be a pathologist/medical examiner, pharmacy school (more chem than bio).</p>
<p>All these can be a good choice: nurse, physician assistant, physical therapist, occupational therapist, nutrition therapist (registered dietitian).</p>
<p>I want to involve less chem because I hate math.
I don’t know if I’ll change in the future, but now it feels like doctor has a real hard life.
I actually prefer working in a hospital than doing researches.</p>
<p>One reason I never wanted to be a doctor (though both my parents are) is working in hospitals. It’s full of old and sick people, in pain, coughing, wheezing, leaking various infected bodily fluids…</p>
<p>And nurses and medical assistants are fine choices too. Though having had to receive some physiotherapy and seeing how much in the demand is in that field, I would also recommend looking further into physical therapy to see if that could interest you. A nice physio clinic is a much cleaner and less depressing working environment than a hospital if you ask me.</p>
<p>Thank you very much, Blobof! :]</p>
<p>Not all doctors work in a hospital though many do internships there. A lot of doctors work in outpatient clinics. You aren’t condemned to spending the rest of your life treating the sick and dying with an MD. You can work on clinical trials, consult, teach medical school, there are tons of places doctors can work other than a hospital. Heck you can even be an anesthesiologist and work with unconscious patients most of the time.</p>
<p>Yeah, “most of the time”. But epidurals on obese women are no fun… actually, any of the surgical disciplines would be the ones I’d avoid. Between ophtalmology and optometry, I’d pick the latter. But again, that’s just me. But my point is to point out that there is a wide array of health professionals, outside of medical doctors, that deal with different aspects of health, so there are many options to consider.</p>
