Geography is useful if you want to work with the environment I guess. And I didn't understand the second half of your question :confused:

geography is a good all round subject that bridge the sciences and the arts due to the physical and human side of the course. It is good in straight geography, ecology side of biology, but also in politics, economics, management, law, education.
Both physics and geography are well respected, but physics probably opens up more doors in the engineering, mathsy, science department and compliments well with maths and is a great subject in its own right but from my experience geography is 'good value for money', its straightforward, esp. at AS.

I don't think it matters unless your going to study physics or geography.

Geography kind of borders science and arts so its quite versatile. History on the other hand is a very respected arts subject, it teaches you how to structure ideas in a clear way in essays and how to analyse text and come to valid conclusions so it's versatile and desirable in its own way. VERY useful if your thinking about law.
