Help with a-levels

So i’m unsure of what i want to do after sixth form but i know that im definitely interested in the finance , law , marketing and maybe even medicine areas.

In medicine i wouldn’t mind being a anaesthetist but it’s not something im 100% gonna enjoy or even what to do .

Finance and marketing are things i think id like more but im not keen on doing maths a level.

Law is something im 100% interested in but it’s an overpopulated career and it’s also not required to do law a level to actually do law in uni so there’s no point in picking it tbh.

So my options for a levels are:
Biology
Chemistry
Psychology
Economics
Maths

As of right now i feel like chemistry , economics and psychology would be the best options because they allow me to have multiple options in the future. Chemistry would let me apply for some medicine degrees , economics and psychology would also let me apply for law and marketing and maybe finance.

Which 3 do you i should settle with?

One big question is why you don’t want to do a Level maths? What grades are you getting at gcse?

If you were just selecting a levels on the basis of subjects you enjoy and think you could do well at which 3 would you select?

In terms of maths , i just think there’s no need to do it as none of the jobs i want to do apply to it directly other then finance and economics would be better for the other options but i wouldn’t mind picking that. At GCSE’s i’m predicted to get a 7 but will probably get an 8 according to my teachers.

In terms of which ones i would enjoy, it would be law, psychology and maybe economics.
