Worst A Levels Known To Man

A Level Film Studies, A Level Religious Studies and A Level Media Studies. I would know because I studied all 3. Yeah, I was never a creative person, so I should have never studied Film nor Media. I don't give a damn about religion, nor do I find it interesting, so why did I study it? I gambled with my A Levels. Lesson learned? Never let your family members tell you what A Levels to do. I'm just lucky that the pandemic stopped me from failing.

These aren’t the worst subjects, they just weren’t the right subjects for you. Other people might love these subjects and do really well at them in the same way you might have enjoyed different subjects far more.

Out of interest, why did you not do the A Levels that you thought would be useful? And did your choice of A Levels stop you from achieving what you wanted?

Well, my GCSES weren't very good whatsoever, so I didn't have that many options, which I know is my own fault. However, when discussing my options with a family member every suggestive that I had for A Level was either dismissed or they would discourage me from taking it.

In fairness, I probably should've done a BTEC course instead, given my bad GCSE results, but considering that most school funding goes onto A Levels, there wasn't many BTEC courses that aligned my interests nor passions. Then again, doing A Levels that I knew I was going to hate was an even worse option for me.

Prior to college, in high school I was always put in low sets, I always had a feeling that my physical disability, learning disability, as well as my mental health issues were the main reason why. I just wish I could have shocked everyone with my amazing academic ability, but I was what they said I was, or was I severely hindered in every possible way? I don't know.

In which case, why does it matter which A-Levels you did? You have a university degree, your A-Levels don't matter in the slighter at this point in your life.
