You are on the right direction take life one step at a time your still young.I had same issues back then I did a course i had no passion for and now am in the labour market and doing something entirely different from what I studied in school.check on the menu and click on talk to a counsellor.

Hey dear, I’m a 4th year medical student, I think you should take the med lab admission whilst you are in 100L prepare for jamb again. It’s a bit difficult but try your best so you’ll score high, use the opportunity you have in school to find out more about legit medicine connections to secure your admission especially if it is a federal school and then you can be sure that you’ll study medicine. When you finally get the medicine admission you should take your studies seriously.
OR
You can stay at home and prepare for another jamb. It’s in your hands.

Go for the medical laboratory science.. keep an open mind… Remove all fears… You be surprised how you get to fall in love with the course.

Knowing what your dream job is at 16 years old is wonderful and I am happy for you – not everyone discovers their dreams at such a young age. Getting to do the kind of work you will find fulfilling is not always a straight road. Think about what is it exactly you like about being a medical doctor. Do you know what a medical doctor does every day during the long hours of their work? What aspect do you like better and what are you better at doing? Are you the person who takes care of scrapes, aches, your older relatives – if so, maybe being a nurse would be more fulfilling and the entire world needs nurses really badly. Do you like to discover what hurts and determine the cause? Or, maybe you like to tell stories, or listen to others tell stories about their lives and what ails them. All of these questions can point you towards so many opportunities to do what you love. There are many kinds of doctors out there. Keep an open mind. The world and the rest of your life are ahead of you.
Much success!
