What do I choose for my A-level choices?

I am doing my A-levels next year but I have to choose what subjects I want to do before January. I know for definite that I want to do Biology and Psychology (I'm predicted 9s for both) but my issue is I don't know whether to do Maths (predicted a 9) or Chemistry (predicted a 9). I find maths very boring but I'd say I'm quite good at it. If I did maths i'd have to do psychology at another school (not ideal). I'd do an EPQ regardless of whichever one I choose. I like chemistry and am good at it (and in general people seem to enjoy chemistry at my school); maths is a little easier for me, but I'm afraid I'll get bored of it. I know I shouldn't choose based on teachers but one of the teachers in maths is extremely boring and I have had him for the past 2 years, so the idea of having him for 2 more years puts me off it (only a little). I think both are good choices career-wise because the universities I want to go to accept both combinations although I think maths has more options for if I want to choose a different course. I want to do something biology-based, possibly neuroscience or biopsychology. Anyone who does both maths and chemistry, I'd really appreciate some advice on which to choose. I had my heart set on doing biology, psychology, maths and further maths but I realised further maths is basically irrelevant, and I know for sure I will get sick of it, so I changed my mind to doing an EPQ. I am very confused so I might talk to my english teacher because he is completely indifferent and has children who have gone through this (and I don't hate him like a lot of the others), but I wanted to see if I could get any form of help from this.

As a 17 year old kid what should I do as a person also aspiring to study neuroscience to become a neurosurgeon?

I already study it in my free time, do a lot of research about it, and have many medical books, etc. However, having genuine knowledge from an experienced doctor could help me. Even if they aren't in the same medical field as I am, or striving to go into the same field as I am. If there's anyone who is capable of helping me I'd be open to communicating and listening.

Exploring Career Options in Neuroscience?

Hi everyone, I’m a college student planning to go to med school and exploring career options. I’ve considered becoming a neurosurgeon, but I’m unsure if it’s the right fit since I’m not too comfortable with blood and surgeries. Are there any high-paying medical jobs in the neuroscience field that require med school but aren’t as surgery-focused? I might consider surgery later, but I’m exploring other paths for now. Thanks for any advice!

What resources are there for me to learn as much as I can about my passion of neuroscience and especially neuro-oncology?

I'm a rising senior in high school and I am so passionate about neuro-oncology. I feel like there's so much to learn and really throw myself into and I'm excited to learn all I can. Are there any free courses and resources that help me develop my passion and understanding about this topic that you could point me to?

Is there such thing as a neuro-oncology lab scientist instead of an actual doctor or surgeon How many years of school do I have to go through for this job?

I'm a rising senior in high school and I don't see myself physically working with patients but rather in a laboratory setting trying to develop treatments for brain cancer instead. Do these types of jobs exist and what is the education required to do so? I am also interested if this sort of career can provide me flexibility and allow me time to spend with my family and enjoy life.

What minor should I do with a Bachelor's in Forensic and Investigative Science?

What minor should I do while I am going for my Bachelor's in Forensic and Investigative Science. I am focusing in Biology for this major and I am trying to decide between psychology or neuroscience. I am also considering doing both at this time. I am planning on applying for the FBI once I am graduated and have a few years work experience. So, I am wondering which minor would be best or should I just do both?

If you are in college and you're major is Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Neuroscience, or Molecular Biology, can you name the school you attend(ed) and what consisted of the curriculum In other words, why did you choose your major and how advantageous was it for you?

I am a rising high school senior and am looking for insight into different college majors. I want to get into med school. If you have any tips, please share!

What advice would you give to a high school student wanting to change career paths?

I am a rising 11th grader, who originally wanted to pursue aerospace engineering since elementary school. Due to this, I have taken high school courses that aligned with the STEM path, such as engineering design and physics. However, as I researched more I found out that there aren't many opportunities (non-US Citizen in Texas) for me. Recently, neuroscience has sparked an interest in me and I looked more into becoming a neurologist. I haven't taken chemistry or classes that relate to this field such as anatomy. I am currently in a dilemma choosing between aerospace and neuroscience, and do not know how to address this as I am approaching my last two years of high school.
