A Levels along with a BTEC

So basically in September I’m going to do A Levels in my sixth form. I’m relatively smart (predicted all 8s and 9s in GCSES) so I guess a Levels are what I should be doing.

I do like the idea of A Level study, but I am also really interested in Hair and Makeup, it’s a serious passion of mine.

Do you think it’s realistic for me to do a BTEC Level 1 in hair and beauty alongside my A Levels? Or is there not enough time? How would I go about doing such a thing!

Tbh im not really sure. University has always seemed like the only choice because of the way my teachers, friends and parents are. I do like the prospect of studying in university, and my school keeps saying that I should go for Oxbridge.

But ifk whether i want to go because it’s what everyone else wants or not. I do dream of opening a line of beauty services though, whether I go to university or not.
Look up what courses on the line of beauty work are available at uni, could do A levels now (maybe along side the btec) and do your passion at uni
