What A levels to take?

Hi, I am hoping to work in the stock Market in the future or something in that area but I can't decide on a fourth a level, I am taking maths, further maths and economics at the moment but I can't decide whether to take physics or whether that would limit my options a bit. I have also considered taking sociology as it would complement economics and would be something less maths based, or music just because I enjoy it, but I really don't know, which one do you think would look best when coming to apply to universities? Any help or advice would be greatly appriciated :smile: thanks.

Any. You've got the main 3 that any uni would ask for.
Personally, I'd take music.

i would consider accounts or business
I've heard people with physics degrees can get jobs in the finance sector.

But you've got the 3 important ones so don't fret over it too much.
A language! Always useful and shows good variety.

My friend wants to work in the stock market too, and she's done maths, economics, sociology and music (just because she absolutely loves music).

Perhaps choose something you enjoy and that's a bit different for your 4th rather than something relating to a career in economics.

Literally absolutely anything you want.
Just pick something you enjoy, you already have all the ones you need :smile:
