I have just finished my AS levels (maths external and economics and history internal) and I am suppose to write a personal statement and fill in my UCAS application, but I don't understand or know how to get the knowledge to choose a career. I am leaning towards an economics degree because like maths it isn't as bad as everything else, but accountancy and banking looks like a better paying 9 to 5 office job.
How do I choose a degree?
Is choosing a degree important only in terms of the job it gains me? Because otherwise I couldn't care for doing 4 more years of painful studying like I have since year 7.
How do I know what degree leads to what job/career, and what job I will enjoy?
I don't understand how to write a personal statement or fill UCAS because I don't have any career in mind, and I don't know how to decide what career I want.
