I'm starting to look into colleges and I'm struggling on what to pick. Do I pick A-level or a BTEC? And which one is harder also which one looks more important and worthwhile to show a job interviewer.

im doing BTEC Level 3 extended for business in marketing and it is equivalent to 3 A-levels.
its cuz we do marketing, personal finance and recruitment & selection

The most important issue is to choose a science BTEC or A levels for veterinary matters. If you decide to do a Btec you probably need to study the BTEC in Applied science. It is possible you may need A level Biology as well. If you take A levels you will probably need Biology. Check the entry requirements for the universities you are interested in. Btecs are almost universally accepted by universities. There are a few who dont and universities tend not to accept them for medicine. Other than that most universities accept them although for some courses eg Engineering A level Maths is sometimes required as well and for some science related courses Chemistry or Biology A level is also required.
