What should I study?

I am planning to do A levels (business, economics, geography) and at first wanted to do economics in uni but after looking at the different entry requirements for this course most good universities require maths but the problem is I can't take maths due to my gcse grade not being high enough due to me not realising it was extremely relevant for economics and so now I stand in front of this dilemma and so far I have come up with two other career paths, either a degree in geography and economics and still try to get a job in that sector or a similar one or do a business degree specialising in suply chain management. So my question is what would be a better choice and are there any other degrees with a promising career that I could do?

Focus on the degree that you believe you will enjoy and thrive in. The more you enjoy it, the better you are likely to perform.

Just a degree will not necessary open the door to a promising career. I suggest you consider degrees with a sandwich / placement year / summer placement options - this experience could mean you have a job ready for you when you graduate.

This is such a broad question as you can have a successful career with every degree as you don't need to stay in the same area, many don't! Business and geography are such different areas and you will need to take very different routes to work in those areas. Do you have a dream career in mind? It can always change but might help with narrowing down your options a little.
