regretting not doing a-level maths

I can't help but feel unsure about not taking maths. At the time of picking a-levels, I was told over and again to just pick subjects I enjoyed and that I thought I would be good at, so I picked english lit, politics and history, thinking any degree/career choices would just follow. I was fairly confident about wanting to do law, but apart from that I had no idea of what path I wanted to go down.

Now, I still think I want to do law, but I'm fairly anxious about the lack of alternatives. My subjects have realistically limited me to something humanities/law based and not much else. (on the bright side, they're all respected subjects). If I had just done maths, I could've opened up so many doors, especially to higher-paying degrees like business management etc.

The problem is that, for the most part I didn't really enjoy maths and struggled with it for a long time, but once I put some work in (and with a little bit of emergency tutoring) I went from getting 6's to an 8 in the actual GCSE. I'm sure that I could've gotten a good grade - I got 8's and 9's in all the subjects I didn't enjoy, and probably could've pushed through with maths a-level also - there's loads of people who don't love their subjects, but still work hard and succeed to go on to do what they want at Uni.

Someone told me at the time while choosing A-levels that I'd need maths for anything in life, and I wasn't bothered, since I was initially really confident about not taking maths, telling myself that a low grade in maths would've been less useful than a high grade in a different subject, but now I'm reconsidering my decision. At this point, frantically trying to change subject would probably do more harm than good, but I still feel so stuck, it feels pointless stressing about something that is probably already too late to change. I don't want to end up with a rubbish degree/job simply because I was too lazy to take maths.

Yeah I wish I did maths too.

It's understandable to feel unsure about not taking maths at A-level, especially when considering future career paths. However, it's important to remember that there are many degree and career options that do not require maths, and success can be achieved in any subject with hard work and dedication.
