Picking a levels for students going into year 12

Students that are going to year 12 in september, whilst you pick subjects you like, consider what subjects you actually need for university. Because I never really considered how much a subject combination mattered, i took business economics and philosophy, and its come back to bite me in the back because to do economics at university, you will mostly need maths, and as well as that, unis don’t like when you take business and economics together, and LSE sees it as a non preferred subject. If you wanna do econ at uni, don’t do what I did and only take economics and not business and also definitely take maths

yeah I landed myself in this issue too. I just finished gcse, but now I’m kind of panicked on what to do.
my plan was;
English lit, geography, economics and core maths

However now I consider it, I don’t want to become a teacher and I’m not entirely sure what jobs I could achieve from those a levels/what I could do at uni.
So I’m considering switching either English lit or economics to biology, which is very scary to me but I just have to put a lot of effort into it.

I wish we were more advised on this at school, instead of useless PSHE lessons. 😞
