Geography BSc or MA
I am not sure which one to pick. I feel as though BSc would have more job opportunities after I graduate, however I worry that I wont enjoy it as much if it has more maths and lab work. I enjoyed both physical and human geography at school however overall, I prefer humanities over science subjects, making me think I'd prefer doing an MA. Does anyone have any suggestions ?

Do what you’d enjoy more. Depending on the career that you want to go into, most don’t care about your degree. It’s about getting a good grade and doing extra stuff to make you a more interesting applicant - a degree alone is useless in this job market.
You’re more likely to get a better result in a degree you’d enjoy more.
Even big4 accounting firms and elite IB firms don’t specify a required degree, just a 2:1
