Interested in an A-Level that I'm not taking.

Hi there! So, I was initially heavily into learning about Physics in my free time during Year 11.
Outside of school, I devoted majority of my free time to it, watching video after video and I absolutely loved it. I found it so interesting and was genuinely really passionate.

Then it got to options for A-levels and I did not pick A-Level Physics, this was because I did Combined Science and was worried that I'd be too far behind or find it too difficult.
I am in Year 12 at the moment (going into Year 13 after summer) and I currently study Maths, Computer Science and Religious Studies.
Thinking about things I am passionate about, nothing has ever truly compared to the part of Physics that I was interested in. I'm not really sure what to do about this.
Any advice?

Either Computer Science or Physics if possible

What would you do with physics? Do you really want a job in physics? Whether it be in academia or in professional employment? How would you use it?

I want to remind you that learning in your free time is very different from being tested on those concepts and applying it. If this is already off-putting, then you may not want to so physics onwards, but if you really are passionate on the subject and want to continue you on it then you will probably have to do a foundation year before going onto the next level anyway

Really consider the first few questions
