working abroad

    I'm in fifth year at moment. I am trying to figure out what I want to do. I'm pretty sure I'd like to work abroad for at least a while if not forever. I enjoy chemistry and was thinking about either pharmacy or medicine. I also like maths and would consider studying it aswell. Which of these courses would give me the opportunity to work abroad in places like Australia new Zealand or America and also in Ireland at some point maybe in future. Thanks

    If you like chemistry and maths, then I would suggest you consider something like chemical or bioprocess engineering:

    Would jobs from this course have the same opportunities as either maths or medicine. It does sound interesting and something I'd enjoy though

    I don't understand the question? If you want to be a doctor, study medicine. If you want to be a pure mathematician, study maths. If you want to apply chemistry and maths to specific problems, study engineering. It's unlikely that the world is going to experience an over-supply of doctors, mathematicians or engineers any time soon.

    The question is if I studied any of these which would I be most likely to find a job in places like Aus NZ or US. Specifically I would like to study medicine as I've always dreamed of becoming a doctor.

    I have no idea, but it doesn't really matter. You're only in fifth year - by the time you graduate from whatever you decide to study, the jobs market in Australia, New Zealand or the US is going to be quite different to what it is today.

    Well there's your answer then.
