Urgent HELP!!!

I always wanted to work with technology and my heart was set on ICT, Business and biology(because I enjoy bio) at a levels.Anyways recently I found that the stupid government got rid of ICT i was pretty heart broken and my teacher said to do computer science and my cousins who did a degree in computer science said it was difficult and lots of maths was involved which im terrible at and also you need to be really good at coding and programming,which sounds difficult.Now i dont know what to do im really depressed and i have no other passion.I enjoy bio and chem but i cant see my self in a lab researching something.The love i got for technology is explainable but i dont know what alevels to choose,By the way I HATE maths and phyics

Please help me xxx

Have you considered doing an apprenticeship in an area of technology that interests you? That could be a better option for you :smile: but for A levels you could do biology and two other subjects - you don't have to do bio at uni just because you're doing it at A level, so don't worry about working in a lab researching things yet haha

No problem :smile: ahhh I see what you mean; you could do some work experience in an IT department of a small company to start off with and then when you finish your A levels you can move up from working in a small company to bigger ones :smile: if I had more experience and knowledge I'd be able to give you much better advice...so apologies hahaha

Ohhh I seee...lots of the unis nowadays love languages so if you're interested in doing one at A level I'd recommend it a lot. But good luck for the future, I hope it all works out for you :smile:

Yes of course, doing a language at A level will only make you more wanted by the unis because it's such a great skill to have. You can basically choose any course at university, it's only the sciences really that require things like biology and chemistry at A level, but yes you definitely can
