My first choices as A -level subjects were: Archaeology, History, Geology and photography. After speaking to a careers advicer, I decided to change Photography for chemistry to give my a slightly wider area of qualifications. I chose Chemistry because it is something I am intrested in and I achieved relitively highgrades at GCSE. However, one thing I loathe is written work. I know that almost every job involves lots of this, Archaeology as much as any subject but Chemistry seems to consist mostly of the above. There is also the lack of much outdoor work.

Unfortunatly geology was cancelled due to lack of interest. This was a shame because it was one of the areas I was looking into as a possible career. Luckily I will probably be able to pick it up next year as an AS level. If I really enjoy it, I can always stay an extra year at college so that I can take it as a full A level.
