Why are you thinking of studying Physics? Is it really not what you like to do?

Many employers prefer people with numerical degrees like physics, it won't close any doors to you.

all i do is watch physics videos, watch documentaries, read physics book and i most of the time enjoy physics class.
It's just that first i started off that i was going to do aeronautical engineering and i know that would be quite a well paid job but as i refined by interests i realised i was interested more in the physics aspect of things
I just hope i do well in alevels for a good uni like oxford or any other good univeristy

it's seems there is a decline for the degree, engineer seems more plausible

There might be a decline in jobs relating to the degree i'm not sure, but many employers will hapily take someone with a physics degree even if their job is not related to physics. Much better to do well in a degree u like than badly in a degree u don't.

It's a difficult situation I guess. If you want to study Physics for its own sake then you should not expect to have a well paid job eventually, assuming that you won't continue with your academic studies. It's now better to focus on your A levels and try to achieve as high as possible so that you can be in a better frame of mind when considering your career path.

Good luck!
