What are most highly paid professions?

Could do practically anything lucrative with those A Levels like Finance/Banking, Accounting, Business etc. I'd genuinely reconsider engineering if pay is what puts you off - engineering regularly comes up as one of the best paid UK professions.

What kinds of engineering are the best paid?

In the next academic year I'm going to start my A levels which are maths, chemistry and physics. At first, I wanted to be an engineer but I'm not sure if they get paid as much as I originally thought. My dad reckons it would be a good idea to become a pilot but I'm not sure about that as It seems even more expensive than university. What other kinda professions are worth going into (pay wise) with the subjects I've chosen.

The one that you enjoy, so will give your all to. Picking a career solely on salary is a recipe to hate 40+ hours a week - it will drain the life from you.

I can't seem to find anything that I will actually find interesting or fun so I think it's best to go for what my strengths are and so I may as well do something that makes money, no?

That's fair - I was/am in a relatively similar position to you. That's why I decided on something that pays well, but won't occupy my whole life and lends itself well to self employment (accounting). That means I'd both have good money but also some time to actually enjoy spending it

So, you think I should aim for whatever makes a good amount of money then?

Naturally I'd say go for something well paying, but I'd make a lot of effort to ensure that you get a good work/life balance, or that money is irrelevant. IB pays *** you money, but you also work 80+ hours a week and sacrifice the best years of your life working a mind numbing job as a replaceable pawn

Law can be a very well paid career, but this depends on many factors, e.g. the area of law you work in, your seniority within a firm/company, whether you're a solicitor, barrister or legal executive, what type of company/law firm you work in etc.

Partners in a law firm can easily achieve more than £150,000, but again this is subject to the above factors (and more)

I would have liked to try and become a lawyer but my English ability is way too poor.

I can't seem to find anything that I will actually find interesting or fun so I think it's best to go for what my strengths are and so I may as well do something that makes money, no?

Don't let that stop you!

I work within a very large commercial law firm and the level of supervision (specific to a firm/company) that you get on all aspects of your work (including English writing skills) is very good. I've learnt so much whilst on the job and that's in addition to doing A Level English Literature.

Which 'A' levels do you enjoy? Which aspects of them?
