CAREERS - please help!!!!!

Hi
Basically I chose biology chemistry sociology and business as my AS A LEVEL options. I just changed chemistry today as I found it really difficult and was struggling with it.
So instead I now have biology sociology business and chose pyschology instead of continuing with chemistry.
I was wondering what careers and jobs my subjects could lead me to?

Psychology and Biology can definitely lead you to a career in medicine, experimental psychology, ecology, forensic science, human biology, animal biology, zoology and basically and further science career. However, in order to go into these careers they usually recommend you to take another natural science subject such as chemistry, physics and biology.

In terms of your other subject options, including sociology and business, this would allow you to go into the more human sciences based careers.

Overall, you have a very good subject combination and would open many career opportunities.

Yes unfortunately, medicine pharmacology, psychology etc. do require you to take chemistry and you can choose from either biology/physics and you have to do maths.

Why not try majoring in experimental psychology??
