Hi, I am a young lad who's currently half way through year 12. I am studying physics, biology, chemistry and design & technology. At the beginning of sixth from I had a strong intention of going into Diagnostic Radiography (basically x-rays, ultrasound, mri, ct scans, etc). At first I thought this was a good career path as uni was close and requirments were not high either (BBC inc biology). But now I don't want to do it. As this is going to be a life long career and taking some picture will get a boring, and as the department is small I also would have no people to work with much. Coming to the real problem right now!!!! I have learnt that I would like to take a career path that's more interesting like civil engineering. I find civil engineering very interesting and am excited about it. My problem is that I haven't chose maths (A level) !!! which is a big mistake although my parent did try to force me to take the subject I did not want to. This is because the seconday school I came from (Hartsdown academy) has a special course for a group of 30 intelligent students. This course allowed me to finish GCSE's one year early (year 10). Which left me in year 11 a decision to chose two as level courses. I chose maths and applied science. I did not enjoy maths there was too much hw and I didn't understand some stuff. I also struggled because the class that I was put into was a group of yr 13 retakes rather than a year 12 group. The year 13's excelled through and I got left behind. By the way at this time I was still doing some extra/normal GCSE's (maths higher, triple science, maths statistic foundation and citenship). I was also doing applied as science which is a lot of coursework. As I was currently still doing gcse maths I didn't know somethings that were essential in AS maths. I therefore could not keep up and dropped it. I used the time slots of AS maths to keep up with applied science coursework. At the end of the year 11 I had 14 GCSE's and 1 AS level qualification (AAAA in maths, single science, triple science and citizenship/BBBB in ICT, English, dt and double science/ CCCCCC). and a C in applied science AS.
But now I want to become a civil engineer. Basically I'm really screwed with my choices and I need help to whether its possible to get into civil engineering without Maths (I still have physics, biology, chemistry and dt) . Please help I need advice for my future career.
