may have chosen wrong course to do

hi, it's a few days before results day and im getting this really bad feeling that ive chosen the wrong course for uni. i chose to do maths cos i enjoy it a school and i wasn't really sure what else i wanted to do so it was kind of a "safe" option to choose maths but now im thinking that it may not be the right course for me as i heard uni maths is a lot different and i dont want to go into a finance job afterwards which i heard most graduates go into, OMG im so stupid, i should really have researched a lot more about the courses. Also during the past year ive kind of lost interest in Maths a little and im not as enthusiastic about it as i use to be. I was maybe thinking of changing course to something else but the problem is i dont know what other courses really interests me. I feel so dum typing this out and should have really sorted my future out ages ago, can anyone give me some advice, id greatly appreciate it, thanks :smile: sorry for rambling on and sorry if this is in the wrong forum.

Maybe take a gap year and rethink your life?

This is vintage pre-results nerves. If Maths is what you are good at, you were right to choose it. Don't worry about "losing interest" - maths at uni is different but almost certainly more fun than A level.

Most careers requiring a graduate do not specify what the degree has to be in. I know of a physicist and a doctor who've become lawyers, historians who've become finance and human resources directors, and a biochemist who's gone into commissioning health services. I could go on. The point about degree level study is not the subject so much as the skills it teaches you.

i did bio and chem for a-level also, so i was thinking maybe pharmacy or toxicology or something similar but will need to research into those courses a lot more. Wouldn't transferring unis mean i have to drop out and re-apply again?
