Which A-levels for engineering

It is time to choose my A-levels
for a job in the future I would like to do engineering or a finance job

I am definitely doing:
Geography, Maths and Physics

but have the chose between:
business economics and DT

which one should I do I have never done business studies as it is only available for A-level so cant choose between which I like more

does DT count as a cop-out type of subject?
Both are practically worthless, although maths and physics are great and geography is ok.
Both of them don't fit the traditional 'academic ' band. To be fair Maths and Physics should be enough to get you on most Engeneering courses so if you are looking at possibly finance as well it might be better suited that you take Buisness Economics. But ultimatly when choosing A-level you should just pick what you enjoy because you don't want to be stuck doing something you hate :smile:

If you possibly can, do Further Maths.

why not take Maths, Physics, DT?

DT can sometimes be regarded as soft but i guess its relevant to engineering so its fine, and Bath (6th in UK for Mechanical Eng, 2nd for Aeronautical/Manufacturing Eng, 3rd for Civil Eng and 11th for Electrical Eng) and say on their website that DT is in their top 3 most common A levels alongside Maths and Physics.

Hope this helps :smile:
Further Maths, Maths, Physics and whatever you want for 4th.
