Any idea what you might like to do for a career?

Engineering (of which there are many varieties) is an obvious choice, given your subjects. You could do anything from chemical engineering to aeronautical engineering.

Yh i was thinking that and was also thinking medicinal chemistry or chemistry with a year in industry? What do u think? Honestly i dont even understand what their about properly and what ive read is to brief they just sound good! And i was thinking chemical engineering but what is that?

I think you need to do some background reading on those subjects that you might be interested in.

This will get you started http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_engineering

All engineering subjects have good job prospects, so it is largely a case of working out what interests you the most - planes, oil & gas, bridges etc.

ok, if ur more interested in the chemistry side of sciences, try chem eng, or straight chem. but if ur only doing 3 Alevels, i would advise straight chem. but if u could get the further maths AS, try chem eng but i think if u get 3 A's, ur most likely to get into any uni for straight chem.

try imperial because they have like chem with maths, chem with molecular physics and chem with management!

Computer Science?

Wow thanks i was thinking engineering but the thing is my brother did civil and structural engineering and my family dont want another engineer lol but what is aeronautical engineering i know its something to do with planes lol and is medicinal chemistry any good? The wage ? And whats that about?

Thanks

As a politics student, I'm really not the best person to ask

Why would you let your family's opinions affect your choice? Especially when it's something so random as already having a brother who is an engineer.

Its all family politics trust me thats a long thing! But thanks for you help! Anyone else any ideas what medicinal chemistry and aeronautical engineering are?

Suggestion 1 : ask on the forums that relate to these subjects

Suggestion 2 : use wiki

Suggestion 3 : look on some university websites on their subject pages

The only answers that I am going to give are (a) drugs, and (b) things that fly. That's about as far as my knowledge goes on this one, I'm afraid.

You need to research this for yourself really, use google... go on careers websites ect.

Are you seriously suggesting that asking these questions in the engineering forum on TSR is less likely to garner an answer than asking in a general forum
