GCSE optionss!

I need to pick my gcse options next week and we have 3 options and one has to be either history or geography but im really not sure if i want to do history or geography because i got better grades in geography but it can get boring at times and history my grades arent too bad and it is quite interesting and im leaning more on history.

Also for my other two options i've decided spanish because its really easy but im not sure if i should replace it with economics because i was planning to start online business in future. Also for the second option im stuck on psychology or sociology i find psychology soo interesting i looked at the specification and it seems fun but i've heard that the teacher makes it hard to actually focus in lesson or properly teach and sociology looks nice too and i've heard its easier

well for either geography or history, you should definitely pick the one you enjoy more because you will do better if you enjoy it and pay attention in lessons, but pick geography if you dont like writing cause history is alot of writing. between economic and spanish, if you dont really enjoy economics over spanish i would say go for spanish since its easier, and doing an econ alevel would be the thing to help you with your online business, as gcses barely teach you anything. and for psychology vs sociology, just go on the one you enjoy the most and not the teacher, because you wont have the same teacher the whole time throughout gcses, and even if you do thats not a reason not to pick it! of course if your heart tells you to do one over the other then do that one, but i would go for what you are interested in most, but pick some easy ones like spanish so its not too heavy.
