Post Secondary School Desicion
Hello! I'm 16 years old and currently residing in the UK.
Having completed my GCSEs, I'm now looking at places to study for my post-secondary school education.
I have two options however am torn between the two.
The first option is a specialised film academy where I'll study B-techs in directing, scriptwriting and acting etc...
The second is your usual academic sixth form where I'll study maths biology chemistry (initially, I was going to study film studies as my third instead of maths, but I heard that in order to do medicine at top universities maths is required, although, I'm willing to take it as a 4th.)
The main problem is that I loved both the subjects of biology and film equally at GCSE.
My goal in life is to release a professional film or a book of my own, however, I'm not 100% decided on my dream career yet and am uncertain about what I want to do. On one hand, I would feel foolish if I gave up on the opportunity of attending the film academy since it could accelerate my journey of breaking into the film industry, but on the other, I am also aware that I'm limiting my options of what I want to do in life when I'm older if I do decide to study there.
So, does anyone have any advice on what I should do??
Extra Questions:
1. Is it possible to study sciences first and then change careers from medicine to the film industry or vice versa?
2. Does anyone know if film companies expect or prefer to hire students who have studied film at 16 at a specialised school??
3. Are there any alternative options where I could do both science and film perhaps?...
