BTECS + A-Levels

Hi, so I am currently in sixth form and I am studying A level sociology, BTEC law and BTEC health and social care. I have no clue what to do in the future I was thinking law or nursing but i don’t even think I wanna do that. I kind of regret my options and I wished I picked 3 A levels rather than BTEC’s because I feel like my options would have been wider and I also kind of wish I picked sciences but I am doing well in my BTECs right now so that’s good but I need help and guidance on how to choose the correct career path and what is available for me as I do 2 BTECs and 1 A level!?!?!?!? (Pls send help asap)

My advice would be to browse some degree subject guides (if uni is the goal) on a site like uniguide and see what interests you. There’s likely options if youre doing an a level and 2 btecs but they may be limited to certain fields. My cousin did 2 btecs and an a level (sociology and double award thingy in health and social) and now she does nursing- im not suggesting you do nursing as you need to pick what youre interested in, im just citing it as an example so you know there are degrees that’ll accept students doing a mix of btecs and a levels. If you find that the courses youre really passionate about require science a levels then you have a few options: retake year 12 with new subjects, switch courses now although its a little late, or even a foundation year can be done for some courses! Does that help?

Yes! Thank you so much I will definitely have a look on what’s available I was just confused because I can barely think of any degrees other than law or the health sector, I just want to do something I like and like everyone else would think, have a good paying job at the end lol
