What degree should I choose

I’m interested in both a career in primary education and the law sector.

Should I study law, primary education or criminology and sociology.

I’m thinking that if I do criminology and sociology I would be able to complete a PGCE post grad?

i don't know what degree you should choose, but i would do an undergraduate degree that lets me transition into a law career, then complete a PGCE to prepare myself for teaching. hopefully another person comes by and gives you better support

You can become a solicitor with any degree (and a barrister with any degree plus a conversion course), however for primary teaching you need more specific qualifications I believe. I'd suggest probably aiming for whatever will get you primary qualified teacher status and then figure out if you want to go the law route at that point, as it will still be an option.
