Is this a good A level combo

I am unsure of what a levels to do as I do not know what uni course I wanna go to.
I'm hesitant on things like medicine as it closes doors to other careers.
I was thinking of something like law or finance or optometry so I was thinking that I should do
Maths chem politics or
Maths Economics politics as optometry is a 3rd choice subject
What should I do?
And should I replace any subjects?

If you have any ambitions of a healthcare degree/career then Biology and Chemistry would be sensible choices, although some may still be possible with Chemistry and Maths. Finance usually requires Maths. For Law there are usually no required or preferred subjects - you just need 3 good grades.

Check the courses/subjects that interest you on a range of different Uni websites and see which A level subjects each one requires - some examples :
Undergraduate subject areas - University of Birmingham
Subject areas | Courses | The University of Sheffield
Courses and degree subject areas - University of Plymouth
