I'm interested in psychiatry, but I don't want to have to do all the many years of medical training. Advice needed!

Okay, so basically I’m a GCSE student who’s about to choose her A-Levels (british citizens will understand me!). The main options I’d consider pursuing as future careers would be Scientific research, Writing, Business and Psychology/Psychiatry.

After doing a little research, the latter of the list seems to appeal to me most – but the psychiatry path would include something around seven years of training (excluding the time it would take for a medical degree). However the fundamentals of the career are what I’m interested in – despite the fact that it can pay very, very well.

Would perhaps a degree in psychology fit me better? And would that be very restricting if I finished it then chose another career path (i.e. some form of writing or business)? Or should I go for a solid degree in something like English?

Because of my indecision, I’m trying to keep my options open when I choose my A-Levels….I’ll probably take;

English Language/Literature combined
Psychology
Biology
Chemistry – but I may switch this for Graphic Design (another option I’m attracted to!)

Sorry for being so choosy! But I really do need some advice.
Thankyou for your help :)
Also, please ask if you would like to know more.
