So does anyone now regret any of their A Level choices?

I regret picking a BTEC in Business, but hey we all do stupid stuff sometimes, what about you? do you regret your A Level?

I don't regret 3/4 of my choices, however I do regret picking AS Level Economics and I wish I had chosen AS History instead, or maybe even AS Psychology. Ah well, you live and you learn - it's not too bad, it's just not as interesting to me as my other subjects. And I miss History!

OCR Cambridge Technical in Media what a load of ****.

If anyone wants to do Media at GCSE/A Level, speak to me first and I'll tell you how disappointed you'll be.

Chemistry, its a nightmare
Regret Geography - the most boring subject I feel I've ever done
Only doing it as I seem to be naturally good at it.
The lessons and essays make my brain want the melt away though

Do you want to take it? If you do, what are your expectations of it firstly?

Erm well I've created film/TV posters, come up with a film and game idea and analysed reviews of games and adverts. A lot of people think you watch films but it is completely wrong.

Same.. I dropped geog after AS even though it was the subject I technically did best in

I wish I'd taken chemistry instead, I have bio & maths and chemistry would have been a better fit & far, far more useful. I know it's hard - that was the reason I didn't take it, but now I wish that hadn't deterred me

It sounds it and at times it can be, but you lose your creativity and you'll be wondering where it has gone. The reason why people need to know what it involves first that they assume it is just watching films at first.
