I partially regret not carrying on Biology in my ultimate year of school, it would be so much more useful and entertaining than History of Art!

A degree in Astrophysics without a doubt. :smile:

I am fascinated by everything to do with the universe. If only i was smart enough though. :frown:

Having said that, i love my current course at uni: Diagnostic Radiography.

I'm happy with my degree subject, just would have been nice to take A level history over 2 years instead of one and probably change most of my subjects at sixth form for arts/humanities ones...

Some very diverse replies here. I have a few questions. For those of you currently studying for a degree that say you wished you studied something different, how do you feel knowing that you have to complete the rest of your degree in something you are not 100% committed to or do not feel completely passionate about? And will you follow your degree up with a career in your chosen field, or upon reflection will you turn to study something else or pursue an entirely different career?

Economics. :frown:

History.

History hands down and Latin.

I wish I could have picked A level History, but it clashed on my college's timetable with English Lit. Ultimately, it was the latter I wanted to do at university so Lit won.

wow harsh, I imagine history and English lit is quite a common combination that people want to do. Was there seriously only one class for each in your college though?? :lolwut:

Biology A level :erm:

didn't really give it a thought, as I was planning on doing economics originally, then I ended up going for science, and now wish I'd done bio, as I used to love it, and it would have given me more options now. Oh well! I'm happy with what I'm doing anyway :smile:

Wish I had never picked Biology and Chemistry at A Level and had picked History and Drama instead. Damn my dentist dream :shakefist:

Dentists are more of a nightmare to me...

Physics was my wasted subject, would have wanted to study French instead. Merde!

im so academic

True, but I still wish I was doing Maths over Biomedical Science.

So why waste the next two years doing something you hate? You may graduate a year later, but if I were you, I'd drop out and reapply for Maths.

Are you doing any justice to yourself studying Biomed if it isn't what you really want to do?
