My choices (Fine art, Classics and computer science)

Most likely going to chose Fine Art, Classic Civilisation and Computer Science for A-levels. I am best at these subjects already at gsce but I want to know if I'm making a mistake.

What do want to do in the future?

I would love a career in art but I have been discouraged by people because it does not pay well. I am interested in more computer based options such as cybersecurity but I would love to combine both.
I mainly chose Fine Art and Classic for the points.

If you’re interested in computer science and the like then you’ll probably need A-level Maths (more important than having A-level CS from what I heard).

Your a-levels look fine unless you’re looking to go into CS which in that case, take Maths if you can.

I am really not mathematically inclined. I get stressed easily in lessons. For some reason i find computer science easy despite its association with math.

In that case, maybe go down the creative route in my opinion then if that’s what you truly want to do.

No worries. I would check the entry requirements of the university courses that you want to do just in case but I can’t see your A-level combination being an issue unless you want to do a maths related course (CS, Econ, Physics, Engineering etc) imo.
