Degree Apprenticeships and Unis

Hello,
I am writing this post about uni and degree apprenticeship, my GCSE grades are 334445566, I have failed Design and Technology (DT) and Business. I have gotten a grade 4 in Maths and 6 in English language. I am currently doing BTEC Applied Science, I want to do a degree that earns a lot of money within the science field but not healthcare and I also want to study at a good university in London. could anyone give me any science degrees that they know someone who does it and earns a ton of money and if so what is their experience of it? And what uni do they go to?

I am also interested in degree apprenticeship but I am unsure on whether I think that is me being too optimistic knowing I did bad in my GCSEs

you probably need to get a grade 6 in maths at least to get into a "good" university (as far as i know)

you can always do a level 2/3 apprenticeship (equivalent to gcse/2 a levels respectively), but you can't do a degree apprenticeship without a levels or equivalent

here's more about apprenticeships: https://www.ucas.com/apprenticeships

in terms of science degrees, specialising in either physics, chemistry or biology makes the most money, in that order i think
I don't know if computer science counts, but that makes loads of money too

HOWEVER

If you're only going to do a degree for money, don't waste your time. Trust me, it's not worth it, unless you genuinely enjoy the subject, and I mean genuinely. Don't trick yourself into liking it; you'll regret it. You don't have to rush through life :grin:
