A degree like B. Clinical Science may lead to other postgrad opportunities besides Medicine.
I know- Pharmacy is a dead end (apparently) and psychology is a tough nut to crack. Perhaps you could go into medical technology or forensice science.
It's bleak for health jobs even though baby boomers are getting older, our population is growing, etc. So say if you just get through your degree and no med offers- do a graduate diploma in applied social research and policy, and that will help significantly in any behind the desk policy jobs (I don't know if you would consider that). You could also go into hospital administration and human services. Not for you? There are still alot of hands-on, health jobs besides medicine- ranging from dentistry, nursing, optometry, psychology, etc. Yes those fields are competitive and you'll have to work for it. But same goes if you are a doctor- you'd be working hard for a long time. The sooner you accept that, the better off you'll be.
I wouldn't rule out any quasi-medicine degrees yet because you may find your 'niche' or an area you are passionate about.
