How are we supposed to help you? You do chem, physics, english, and extension maths, so do you like sciency stuff? Do science or something. How are we supposed to know when you didn't put what you're interested in, what uni you like, where you live, what kind of atmosphere you prefer, what subjects you like, etc etc?

I think your best two options to check out would be yours standard BSc Bachelor of Science or a Medical Science degree. Both UNSW and USyd have a bit of information that you could read for the Med Science degree to get a feel for the content:

http://www.science.usyd.edu.au/future/ug/bmedical.html

In a BSc you could do a pretty broad combination such as molecular biology, chemistry and physics (which could then lead to graduate medicine) or something like physiology (neuro), mathematics and philosophy (the second one is my option other than medicine). Your best bet would be to investigate a variety of areas and see what interests you. Check out the list of majors down the right hand column:

http://www.science.usyd.edu.au/future/ug/bsc.html

UNSW has some good clickable links down the bottom for subject areas as well:

are you asian? :p

but suriously, which of your subjects do you enjoy most?
What do you do as hobbies?

and talk to your career's advisor, they can give you a some material to read in order to help you make your decision.

I don't think encouraging people not to go to uni is a good idea. It would be wiser to encourage them to pursue what they love at uni, instead.

I think encouraging people to drop out of uni is a better idea.

Er... But why not? It can only have good results- if you don't like it or you don't do well, you leave semester 1 or 2 with a small HECS debt none the loser.
