after a level advice

im currently in year 11 and planning on doing a level mathematics, physics and computer science, i have interests in digital forensics and intelligience but ive also started to like the idea of radiography and paramedic science, would these a levels be able to failitiate my ideas?

also what else could i do with those a levels and would it be worth changing my current selection?

Tonnes of stuff. Practically any engineering discipline (excl the bio ones). FM is also a shout if you can take it.

yeah a lot of people have recommended fm but i can only do 3 a levels at my sixth form unless you have straight 9s then they let you do 4, will this make a difference do you know?

You're still in year 11, just get straight 9s - loads of people do it.

Ok, being real, further maths is very much helpful later on. Depending on uni, you'll either need it as a prerequisite or be taught what you need. In any case it is very nice to be familiar with the material as you can then use certain lectures as naptime instead. At the very least, aim for a 9 in maths, physics and ideally another STEM subject too. Computer Science GCSE is dead easy so maybe that too.

Apprenticeships... don't really teach you the discipline of engineering, sure they get you into the industry but imo you lose out on a lot too. Remember, companies don't just offer these things out of the good of their hearts. They get you while you're young and trap you into working for them at whatever wage, knowing that you're unlikely to ever really leave as all you'll know for a long long time is that company.
