Switching to economics
In my sixth form I am studying maths ,further maths, physics and chemistry. However I recently applied to drop chemistry and study economics instead. These were my GCSES:
Maths 8
Physics 8
Biology 7
Chemistry 7
French 6
English 7
English 8
History 7
Business 5
However, my business grade is a 5 (102/180). With this in mind should I study economics, as what makes my blood boil is I was predicted an 8 and got an 8 in mocks.

Those are some decent grades.
I have questions:
•
What degree do you want to do?
•
Why out of the blue do you want to switch to economics and drop chemistry?
•
Why economics out of all the other subjects you could have picked?
•
Other than the main career you're thinking of, what are the other careers that you have in mind?
•
How much research have you done on the careers that you want to get into?
The main thing I would bear in mind is that economics is not a required subject whereas chemistry is. Whilst I don't think you're losing out that much should you switch chemistry for economics, I can't particularly see the advantage of doing so unless you're telling me off the bat that you will definitely get significantly better grades with economics than chemistry.
