didn't apply cuz I didn't think I would get 98+, still don't but should I have(late applications still open but I think it's too late 2 study for it) current grades are:
math adv 90%
math ext: 91%
Sci ext: 83%
business studies:83%
chemistry:50%
eng adv: 80%
physics:100%

I don't really care about med, just the pay tho, so if there's any careers that pay similar to the range 300~500k that'd be good

There are plenty of careers that can pay at that range, especially management-related roles, although it's a lot to be aiming for. Med is probably the best guarantee of such a pay range, but I don't think you should do it just for the pay because it requires a LOT of dedication and frankly, I'd feel bad for your patients...

don't get tunnel vision into thinking med is the only place u can achieve a high salary. it only looks that way because the average salary for med is high. other careers like lawyers achieve high salaries too but there's an uneven distribution of pay that brings the average down. senior lawyers can achieve $300,000, and that is before they become a partner where they can make millions.

i used law as an example cuz I know law. i’m not too sure about the others but definitely commerce has range. if u want to stay in stem, engineers make the most when they specialise and become an expert in a specific field. software engineers and quants also have range. quant is ridiculously hard to get into and u have to be a genius tho
