Forget about your grades for a moment. What are your interests - whether within these subject areas or outside of them? What soft skills do you feel you have - e.g. team-working, communication, problem-solving, etc? Would you prefer a job where you're sat at a desk or moving around more? Would you prefer to rely heavily on computer usage or would you rather be doing something more engaging with your hands? Would you prefer a job that has you interacting with people face-to-face a lot or one where you spend much of your day working alone?

There is a lot of drugs to learn and stuff but if you enjoy it then it'll be fine. Its not about which job is best for GCSE grades. My dad always says that grades are irrelevant (to a degree) its just a step to the next thing. The most ideal job on paper could be your worst nightmare. I found my career by writing down what i wanted to get out of a career and working from there. No one is going to be able to tell you what job to do.

Would you enjoy being an accountant? Do you have to take 4 a-levels? I swear most places now make you do 3 A-levels. Look at uni requirements. I dont really know but i would imagine good options to choose from are business, economics, maths, biology and chemistry but best to look at entry requirements for pharmacy and business managements jobs. If you would go down the accountant route why would you do business management and not accounting/finance/economics?

I wanna become a pharmacist promised mommy mum will try being one and if I can’t got no choice gonna move away from the science and move to business which I did good in my GCSEs and maths and study accountancy really depends on what happens that’s why for a levels I have to pick 4 that is Chemistry,Biology,Maths and Business chemistry and biology will help me becoming a pharmacist if I decide to be one and maths and business will help me if I change my mind to become an accountant so I got backups which is pretty smart.
