17 and lost and abit depressed

If you wanna do creative writing, then English is probably a very good A-level to be taking, because by analysing well-written texts, you’ll be able to write well written peices of creative writing. Plus, history would be useful if you write creative writing set in a different time period, and you’ll be able to write characters from different places more effectively. Economics is a little harder to match, but I guess you could say economic would be helpful for history, plus, it might be useful to have an understanding of economics so you can sell your pieces of published creative writing better, because you’ll know what sells and what doesn’t.

yeah thats true thank you i was thinking about going a design route but i dont have any a levels to match ( my parents wouldnt of let me take them)

Also, have you spoken to your sixth form? I know it’s later Into the year though, but I still think you have time to swap and catch up with enough determination. I know someone who did it and they get A*A*B for their A-levels this year.

its definetley a no with my sixth form

Damn, ok. The best thing I could say is give it some time. You might start to enjoy them more. When I started (I do history, English lit, bio and chem) I was really hesitant about the sciences. 1. Because even though I love humanities and sciences, I’ve always preferred the humanities, and I felt a lot of pressure to ‘pick a side’, so nearly dropped them for politics before I changed my mind. 2. I won’t lie, the jump scared me, even though I like bio and chem.
But, now I have to say that I’m really enjoying all my subjects, and feel much better because I have more options open and can always drop one when I’m ready.
So, I think give it some time. Why did you pick these subjects? Was it only your parents? Or did you have previous interests in them. I really do understand that fear of regret you’re experiencing. Everyday I question whether or not I should’ve taken politics. But, even though I know it’s difficult, you need to let go and move on, life doesn’t end because your A-level choices. All the subjects you’ve picked a very respected A-levels, but it’s up to you what you do with them.
So, give it time. Look at the courses you can do, find one you like, and use that as a motivator, and try and get the best predicted grades you can!

Also. Here is a suggestion. A lot of English literature, history, politics and other arts undergraduates go into fields such as journalism, publishing etc- which does match well with your interest in creative writing. If you can find one of these subjects you have a genuine interest in, they could actually lead you to careers you wouldn’t expect, because you really can do more than becoming a teacher, historian and author (but ofc if you wanna do that, go for it!)
The writing skills you gain from humanities degrees are very valuable in lots of workplaces. Plus, even though you mentioned that you weren’t interested in law, it’s very common for humanities undergraduates to do law conversions/ work as lawyers even without a law degree. So, if you changed your mind, you could always go back to law. My history teacher worked in a law firm for years before he got into teaching!
Point is, besides jobs that require STEM degrees, there are plenty of jobs that would accept you with humanities degrees. The important thing is how you use your education because, contrary to popular belief, a degree does not guarantee you a high paying job no matter how prestigious or competitive the degree is! Whats important is: what experience do you have? What skills have you gained from your degree, and how can you use them to persuade people to hire you? Why are you passionate about having that job?
Any degree is valuable, but it’s up to you to sell up yourself to employers on why your degree, skills and just general qualities outside of your degree make you the best person for the job you want!
I hope this helps!

i do enjoy english i really do history is okay and interesting but the exams and content are probabaly going to kkll me off and econ can be interesting and confusing , tbh i did pick these tho bc i seatched up respected a levels that i knew my parents would accept because they wouldnt accept anything like textiles or drama , im a type of person that can cope and get through it but i always feel like a level subjects determine everything

Unfortunately despite the inherent skills English has the worst income outcomes.
You say creative- can you put a portfolio together? There are diplomas you can take at local colleges some 1 or 2 year- latter equal 3 A levels. Funded to 19 yo. They would be stepping stone to creative arts degree/ career.

worst outcomes for a job?

i was thinking to do something creative but i have no creative a levels
