didn't apply cuz I didn't think I would get 98+, still don't but should I have(late applications still open but I think it's too late 2 study for it) current grades are:
math adv 90%
math ext: 91%
Sci ext: 83%
business studies:83%
chemistry:50%
eng adv: 80%
physics:100%

I don't really care about med, just the pay tho, so if there's any careers that pay similar to the range 300~500k that'd be good

no offence, but being completely committed to medicine is a pretty huge prerequisite to be accepted. It's not as easy as saying getting 98 atar will guarantee an offer. Given you don't have rural access scheme or gateway, it is very difficult to recieve offers with a 98, and doing so would require either a very solid performance in the ucat or interviews- in laymen's terms--> u need hella dedication. If you genuinely have a passion for this degree, then by all means, shoot for the sky. But solely for the pay is really not something I'd say is a reasonable excuse for interviewers to think you are a suitable student when there are countless other applicants who are dedicated.

There are plenty of careers that can pay at that range, especially management-related roles, although it's a lot to be aiming for. Med is probably the best guarantee of such a pay range, but I don't think you should do it just for the pay because it requires a LOT of dedication and frankly, I'd feel bad for your patients...
