Hi,
I'm in year 12, AS subjects: maths, chemistry, geography, biology, predicted: AAAA, GCSE's: A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*AA, and I would love to take a gap year.
Despite all of my research, none of the courses that interest me stand out as being what I was born to do.
Things that interest me:
1). The physical side of geography, particularly parts that relate to the chemistry that I'm learning. People have told me that to excel in this area I should do a straight chemistry degree first, but I can't think of anything worse than doing that!
2). The other option would be earth sciences (geology) but I really don't want to be a scientist.
3). I'm interested in politics and I love debating, solving arguments through stepping into the minds of each side. And I've been told I'd make a great lawyer.
4). Mental illness also interests me but I wouldn't like to study medicine, so perhaps becoming a therapist (as I like listening and helping people).
5). Human geography and economics.
Any ideas of degrees that you think would suit me, as to which AS I should drop,
or advice on how you decided on what to study?
