Economics/Physics themed gap year?

I have to decide between these two...hopefully I will have done by year 13, but if not, it's going to have to be in the gap year.
Any great ideas for relevant stuff in these fields? For both the Uni ap, and to help me decide which one I like best? CERN would be amazing! Or like the stock exchanges/banks would be interesting. I'm really not sure, I've only starting thinking about doing one recently...

Try the gap year programmes at the Big 4 Accountancy firms.

Year in Industry scheme. Great program!
Indeed, my YINI placement is with a company that builds parts for Particle Accelerators. Just thought you might be interested since you seem keen on CERN.

Economics related: as mentioned above the best option would be to get on one of the Big4 gap year programmes (PwC, KPMG, Deloitte, Ernst and Young)- a decent job with a good pay and lots of responsibility and exposure, possible sponsorship through university and a very good chance it'll guarantee you a grad job there if all goes well and will help you get interviews at lots of other firms nevertheless. Read into them, apply to all four early and you should get into one.

Alternatively: Accenture, Bank of England, Rothschild (the only bank I know of that does a gap programme), YINI (as mentioned above although this will be more IT/Engineering/possibly Physics related).

Work but most definitely also travel. All the best.
