A-Level Choices... Stuck!

Yorkshire. I wouldn't mind commuting to cities like Manchester, Leeds or Liverpool from home, and if I got a particularly good job based in London I suppose I would move there.
The problem with STEM is, the only one I'm considering taking is Biology and what can you do with just Bio alone?

You don't always need to do Maths if you do Economics, if you have good Maths skills from GCSE that is enough.

Not planning on going to university?

Hmm!
Try to think what you want to do in future?
How you wish you want to make cash?

Definitely do subjects that will increase your chance for Law. You sound like the ideal candidate for a law degree. Although a job can be hard to get as a lawyer, remember that with a law degree being a lawyer is not the only thing u can do. For example, law enforcement or being an advisory for one of the big four. But yh i would defo look into law if i was you.You can use search.ucas.com and search for Law if you wanna see the entry requirements and maybe the preferred subjects.

A job that involves writing, perhaps? I guess a job that's high paid that doesn't involve Science.

So I'm in Yr 11 right now, and will have to pick my A-Level options in a matter of months, but I am really stuck.
In my GCSE Mocks, I got 8 A* and 3 A's, so that doesn't narrow down the subjects I'm good or bad at.
I don't know what I want to do at university - I just want it to lead to a well paid job and I DEFINITELY don't want to go into a science-maths field such as medicine or accountancy.
My strength is definitely English, and I'm very good at all the subjects I do. (I hate Maths, however). I'm considering Economics, but what is it about and where can it take me??

Subjects I study at GCSE (and mock grades)

Maths (8)
English Lit and Lang (8)
TRIPLE SCIENCE: Bio (A*), Chem (A*), Physics (A)
German (A) *definitely will NOT take*
Resistant Materials (A* - A)
History (A*)
Geography (A*)
Business Studies (A*)

I only know that I will take English Lit, that's it! Which subjects would best suit me, and where can they take me?
Help would be greatly appreciated x

The OPs problem is that he/she has absolutely no idea what career appeals or even doesnt appeal. I suggest h/she does a few of the various 'career' questionnaires to help to at least eliminate some options.

H/she mightt start with thinking about environment both local (as in the actual workplace) that he would like to work in (usually an office but not always), and the larger. Does he want geographical flexibility (maybe international) , or national (most highly paid jobs ar in London or overseas.

Also he says well paid, but is he chasing a six figure salary or would say 50K be satisfactory?

If u hate maths then don't be an accountant as u will defo need a level maths

Be very careful about this advice. Many top universities do require maths at A level or IB. Not all, but many. It's risky to pursue economics without maths A level because you restrict your choices. Also, it's quite a mathematical subject so why would you pursue it if you don't like maths?

Hmm.
You could become a journalist, a blog writer, a novelist or something like that
I recommend languages in that case

You are wrong dude.
I hate Maths but good in Accounting but still do Maths at A level.
You do not need great Maths knowledge in Accounting

A journalist isn't high paid, though?

Yeah, you only need GCSE level Maths to do Accounting at University.

Make your own blog then. Make sure it's unique though!

It's appealing, but I'd probably do a blog as a side thing. I'd want a job too.

Please don't pick subjects such as Maths and Physics etc. simply because they'll get you a better paid job in the future. If you hate Maths now, I don't see why you suddenly would love it in A Level, where it becomes much harder and time consuming. If you hate an A Level, there is literally nothing worse as you would likely get a lower grade in it and your university choice would get slimmer, therefore restricting you with what you can do at degree level (and likely not really leading you into a better paying job, if that was your main priority). Stick with subjects such as History, English, Politics, Geography, etc if you're interested in essay subjects - you'd be much happier with yourself if you chose subjects you like more over subjects that are likely going to take you into a higher paying job when you're older.

Also, many arts degrees lead into well paying jobs - especially if you are good at them and get a high university degree grade such as a First or a 2:1. Yes, Law is quite difficult to get a job in, but you seem to be good enough all round, so there will be less competition with you
