Aerospace or film? Help?
I am currently a first year BTECH student studying general engineering at college.
I have started to look into university's and courses and am reaching my breaking point. Most aerospace courses require an a-level in maths (which I am probably going to do a one year a level course for) however I feel like I'm having to pick between money and what I have a passion for.
I could get into most film production/study courses using my BTECH via the research I have done.
What do I do?? Is it a waste if I get into film? Do I just go for aerospace knowing my heart may not be fully in it? Please any help or advice would be great.

Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diplomas in Engineering
And I think I got a 6 but my results were skewed due to personal issues, I likely would of gotten higher otherwise.

Most 'top' Unis will want A level Maths but there are plenty of of other good Unis to look at instead:
Brunel - Aerospace Engineering BEng | Brunel University of London
DDD in Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering with Distinctions in Further Mathematics for Technicians and Further Mechanical or Further Electronic /Electrical Principles modules.
Lancaster - Engineering BEng Hons (H100) - Lancaster University
DDM in an Engineering related subject to include Distinctions in the following units: Unit 1 Engineering Principles, Unit 7 Calculus to Solve Engineering Problems. Unit 8 Further Engineering Mathematics is highly recommended.
Plymouth - BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering - University of Plymouth
DMM /DDM in a relevant Science, Engineering or Technology subject, to include Merit in a relevant Mathematics unit.
Etc etc

Thank you - I will add these unis to the list!
