A level subject combo for PPE

Hi there
Going to start A levels next academic year and have chosen to do maths English lit and philosophy. Although I know I'd enjoy all these courses, I'm worried I should have picked history or economics instead of philosophy since that seems more preferable for a PPE degree. Does anyone have any advice/should I switch choices?

Well are you planning on going to university? If so, your a levels could be somewhat relevant to the course you wanna take in uni cause sometimes specific subjects have specific a levels for it. If your not planning on going to university, think about the career or job you want and do something that will help.

Also, personally I don't think philosophy would be great unless you like into stuff like that or philosophy teacher or something

Don't stress too much about it your subjects seem pretty solid for PPE, especially with Maths and English Lit. Philosophy definitely works well too since it focuses on critical thinking, which is key in PPE. History and Economics are also great options, but Philosophy can give you a unique perspective.
