what kind of job could i get with my A-levels?

well in September i'm hoping to take the A-level subjects: Biology,Chemistry Geography and psychology, but i have no idea what i actually want to do with it in the future.
I know i want to do something in the science/ medicine field (i have been doing my research) keeping in mind that i absolutely hate maths and based on what i heard, physics is worse. just want some advice :/
thanks

Edit:
for my GCSE's i got

1a* religious studies
2a's in physics and maths
6b's in history,English lang, sociology, biology, chemistry and drama
2c's in Spanish and English lit

i guess i am pretty disappointed because i know i could have done better, and i know for AS i wont repeat my mistakes. i just feel like these grades are going to put me in a disadvantage.

Do you plan on going straight into work after your A-Levels or a degree course that will lead to employment?

Thank you :smile:

. I got 1A*, 5A's and 5B's in my GCSE's and I'm going to King's College. I dropped Psychology at the end of AS Levels as I didn't really enjoy it that much.

awww thank you :smile:

. I got AAAa in the end. In our sixth form, it is compulsory to drop a subject for A2.. very odd, especially for people who still want to carry on all of their subjects

McDonalds, just kidding haha.

Well with all those Scientific subjects, I think with those subjects you could get any job in the Science field.

Geographer, Chemist, Medicine Graduate, Biologist, Doctor (Maybe), Psychological Consultant

Obviously for all these jobs you first need to get a degree in university after you do your A-Levels. :wink:

Just try not to under estimate the jump from GCSE to A Level.. it is quite big, especially the way you answer questions in exams. Also, I started revising months before my exams. It's a pain in the neck but it's worth it in the end :smile:

. I don't know anyone who did the exact same subjects as me, but there are so many career paths you can go into with these subjects. You be a Pharmacist, Chemist, Psychologist, Vet and so on. You can look at university websites and browse their undergraduate courses to see what interests you.
