but what if i want to study abroad after a levels, then?
Then that would add more to your CV. However, MBBS frm PAk and M.D. from UK or US is an economical option, with relatively better with more NET benefits in terms of money spent and earned.

well in pak most of the doctors open their own clinic and earn loads of money but jut sitting at their clinics for like 2 hours
btw. which field of medicine has loads of scope, and is also handsomely paid? and how much time wud it take in becoming qualified in it?

Those doctors spend years earning Less, then after becoming like 45+ of age, they start earning a lot.
No one would want to go to a newly opened clinic. Everyone goes to old prestigious doctors, who have lots of experience.
That's the drawback of becoming a doctor.

Even as a surgeon, you will need a lot of practice, years of training before they let you perform surgeries.
First you will need to be an Intern, then Resident, then an Attending.

Most paid are Neuro-Surgeons.

She meant that, and I agreed. However, currently business-related fields are better paid than doctors and engineers respectively.

No, i mean.
There are different types of businesses.
Should i go for Business Administration (MBA) and stuff?
What degree will be needed to start a business?

And what should i study if i want to become an Accountant?

Any body can do business, and an MBA is not required for that. For Accountancy there are many routes, and you will have to choose one which you find easy.

Orthopedic is involved with bones and stuff.
Every surgeon earns. Plastic Surgeons. Orthopedic Surgeons. Pediatric Surgeons. Neuro-surgeons. Cardio-Thoracic Surgeons. General Surgeons.

But the cases of Neuro-Surgeons are very expensive and they charge a lot of money.
On the other hand, Orthopedic Surgeons earn frequently as there are many cases of broken bones and stuff due to accidents.

Just do M.B.B.S and then M.D or D.O (Which is more preferable if you want to go into Orthopedics) and then work in a hospital as a resident. Then after completing your residency, they will promote you to an attending surgeon. This Residency period is compulsory, as this is where you perform surgeries, see surgeries by professional surgeons and you learn. But as i said before, it will take years. Residency of Neuro-Surgeons can be like 5-7 years long.

You can work to become the chief of surgery, the highest earning job in surgery.

I don't know. I'm getting bored of sciences now. But you can go for Petroleum Engineering, it is high-earning.

true that, but by then petroleum will become a limiting factor and if there is no petroleum then what is the use in petroleum engineering

what about engineering? isnt that also high paid? i have also heard that it has less scope now

In Pakistan i don't think it is high-paid, and doesn't have scope.
It might be different abroad.

@FAHMEED what do you think?

Neurosurgeons are also highly paid. But I really don't understand why do we think only about money. We should keep in mind that even many orthopedic surgeons as well as other doctors are either unemployed or not earning a decent income. At first a degree and work experience counts which will decide your fate to a large extent.

No, companies like schulumberger, eni, jenibacher etc pay high salaries to their engineers. But I am afraid that in future less PAKISTANIS will be recruited in this industry in the GULF as current situation shows that a few of our engineers are working witht he majority being Indian, and the situation will remain same as it has been for decades. However there are opportunities in Libya, Canada and other oil rich nations except the Gulf.
