How comes people who are really good at Maths never go on to be Doctors or Surgeons and earn real good money?
I mean these are the jobs that involve Chemistry, Biology and really tough Science background, and most Science is Mathematical, so you would think that these people could breeze through Med School. So how comes they don't always do this type of work? Instead they go on to study for careers in Accounting, teaching Maths etc.

Answer 1 :
Not everyone wants to be a doctor. Many people who study science and math are certainly capable of becoming doctors, but aren't interested in it despite the salaries.
Answer 2 :
Despite the claims that medicine likes to make for itself, physicians and surgeons are not scientists. They are surrounded by scientific disciplines like biophysics and biochemistry, but that's not what it takes to be a doctor. Once you get past GCSE, Maths is no longer about doing sums, but becomes a strict approach to solving scientific problems. Being able to do that would be a positive disadvantage at medical school where students are taught that their subject is science and alternative therapies are witchcraft. A mathematician might ask for evidence.
Answer 3 :
Because they don't want to be doctors. To go after a career that involves as much training as medicine, natural talent isn't enough. You need to be VERY passionate. Otherwise, you won't make it.
