What A-level;s are you studying? I keep changing my A-level choices
:sl:
I studied my AS levels which were Psychology, Statistics, Law and Business Studies. Passed all of them but not a very good combination of subjects. Statistics I found the most useful out of my combination.
To get to a good university, it is best to choose traditional subjects: English, English lit, Maths, History, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Foreign Languages, etc. However, you need to take interest in the subject too. Avoid Media Studies, Accounting and ICT. There may be interesting subjects but some snobbish universities frown upon them.
Let me warn you, even if you get good GCSE grades, good A levels, attend a good University and achieve a 2:1 degree, getting a job is going to be difficult.
I have 1 year experience as a Paralegal and 4 months work experience at a Human Resources Department and even I'm having difficulty getting a job...there are people who have substantial amount of experience and qualifications but having a tough time finding a job. So try to gain as much work experience as you can and aim to distinguish yourself from other candidates by volunteering on a regular basis.
