My A levels aren't good enough?

It's no business of his; if they are what you want to do, do them. I'm also doing psychology and my friends are doing Philosophy & Ethics and they're definitely worth it. P&E is actually useful for studying law and psychology is really interesting and you can have a very good career in it.

Thank you! And I agree; it's not really any of his business. What other A levels are you doing?

These are all facilitating subjects. Clearly, you are not STEM-focused, so should look at doing English (not just literature), or maybe replace one of Psychology and Philosophy and Ethics with History. These subjects are simply broader and will prepare you for a wider range of different subjects.

I'm doing French & History, as I suck at subjects like science and maths, haha

If you know what you want to do the english is enough. If you dont know what you want to do then maybe its worth taking a STEM subject to keep your options open but other than that there isnt anything wrong with those

I've always enjoyed history what are you planing to do at university? I also suck at maths

I back up what other posters have already said and from experience with one of my friends who's parents forced her to do science subjects (to earn more money in the future of something) and it went really wrong. Do subjects you are passionate about and you will not regret them - your three are definitely not constrictive ☺️

Hmm. My main option is journalism as I want to be a journalist, but I'm also considering law and psychology! What about you?

I'm picking English literature, psychology and philosophy&ethics. I spoke to one of my teachers today about my A level choices and he told me that my A levels aren't good enough or even worth doing apart from English. I know I shouldn't take things to heart but this has really upset me as I'm not really interested in any other subjects. I'm not sure what I want to do at university but maybe he's right and I should pick STEM subjects or more facilitating subjects for university. I just don't know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your teacher seems like a prick. There is nothing wrong with the subjects you are doing as long as you enjoy them and get good grades for them then you have no worries. Don't let your teacher tell you those subjects aren't good enough, all A levels require a lot of work so just put in the work with the subjects you are doing right now.

They're good subjects.

As long as you meet the subject requirements of your chosen degree/post-18 course then it's fine. Pay no attention to this teacher.

Noooo don't listen to that teacher!! I start Year 12 next week and I've been told endlessly that you should do the subjects you want to do. If you enjoy your A Levels definitely stick to them. I'm taking two of your A Levels, English Lit and Psychology. Because my third A Level is Biology I've been told endlessly I should swap Psychology to Chemistry to open more paths, but I know for a fact that I would hate Chemistry and that I will enjoy Psychology far more instead. So I've been flat out refusing my future Sixth Form, they can't force you to do something you really don't feel like or want to do. So long story short, stick to your A Levels if you like them! The STEM route isn't the only route you can take after all. :' )
