A Level Subject Dilemma

Hi, I’ve been recently considering dropping Geography for Further Maths and the deadline for me to make that decision is tomorrow. However, I am not sure if it is necessary for me to do Further Maths I want to get a degree apprenticeship rather than go to university for economics which would require further maths a level if i were to apply to lse. The problem is that I prefer geography as a subject & know that further maths is considered to be the hardest subject which is why I feel like I would just be overworking myself for not much reason as university is not even my main goal. I would say I am quite naturally gifted when it comes to maths, which is why I am currently stuck at a 50/50. Id appreciate if anyone could help me make a decision as I need to make it by tomorrow. I currently study maths & econ along with geography if that helps.

Thanks

Hiya, I recently dropped further maths for another subject (bear in mind FM was my 4th AS level) because it was getting too much for me. I would also consider myself quite good at maths, having achieved a 9 in gcse maths and put in many further maths masterclasses. However FM is really tough. The classes were really interesting and enjoyable but the thought of the exam didn't settle well with me.
Take a look at Unis, and their requirements. If they only require maths and not further maths alongside it, stick with geography as I am told it is not as content heavy. Hope this helps!
