Struggling to Decide: Should I Drop Physics and/or Biology?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a student taking four A-level subjects: chemistry, biology, mathematics, and physics. The student feels pressured and is contemplating dropping either physics or biology due to uncertainty about future career interests. They seek advice on which jobs may be inaccessible without these subjects, specifically asking if not taking biology would eliminate options in medicine or if not taking physics would affect engineering prospects. Responses highlight that while math and chemistry are crucial for many university programs and careers, the choice of one subject over another is not likely to define an entire career path. It is emphasized that while A-level math can be challenging, the decision to drop a subject should consider overall academic goals rather than fear of limiting future opportunities. Ultimately, the consensus suggests that focusing on three subjects may be more beneficial than struggling with all four, as individual classes do not singularly determine career options.

i take all 4 subjects right now:chemistry,biology,mathematics and physics.and i know that math and chem the most important of all.
i am feeling a bit pressure studying a level now.i will start semester 2 soon.so i am wondering should i drop 1 of physics and bio.
but i am not sure which job i am interested doing in the future,currently.so i would like to ask my friends here to tell me which job will not be available for me to apply if i don't take phy,and if so with bio.i really need help now.is that i can't take medic already if i don't take bio?or engineering if i don't take phy?or other jobs?Huh


Thanx! :smile:
 
Physics news on Phys.org
pls answer my post quicly as soon as possible from anyone of u reading this post currently.just tell me as much job as possible THAT U KNOW that i cannot apply after not taking physics.PLS I NEED HELP!
 
at what level of education are you? and why do you think that math and chem are the most important?
 
studying a level
because i heard that most uni required an A for chem to enter their uni.and most jobs also required math,just like chemistry.and i think that math is the easiest of these 4 subjects(although hard,just become easy if compare tho the other three subjects)
and i am thinking i will maybe becoming doc if take bio and engineer if take phy.is that true?any other examples of job pls...
 
anybody home?
i need the answer as quickly as possible.

Maths is not easy I can tell you that, if your used to GCSE maths get ready for a shock at A-level it's a whole knew ball game that will make GCSE look like a walk in the park, you may be one of the lucky few that just gets it, but most don't and have to study hard to pick it up. I can't help you with the rest, you need an English engineer to walk you through it.
 
The choice between one course and another is not going to define your entire career, nor is it going to prevent you from entering entire disciplines. Your major as a whole defines what you're likely going to do in your career, but single classes are not important.

so do u think i should drop i of the subject and concentrate on 3 other subjects since u said that:
