Career Options for Health Sciences?

Hey guys, I'm planning on attending a college without dedicated Biology or Chemistry degrees, so I would have to major in Health Sciences as an alternative. I'm planning on medical school after I graduate with my degree, but if for so reason I'm not able to get into medical school or I change my mind, what other education/career options would exist?

There are lots of health career options with the same pre-reqs as pre-med, all of them with more lax admissions standards.

optometry, dentistry, pharmacy, podiatry, audiology, physical therapy, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, crna, etc.

Your questions are sort of off based.
What do you like? What would you like to do if you did not get into med school? Why are you majoring in "health science" instead of psychiatry, english, etc?
