How do I choose what I want to study after high school?
Hello everyone! I can't seem to decide what to study after high school. I've been thinking about it for quite a long time, but now that the applications are getting closer and many people are already preparing for entrance exams and building up extracurriculars, I'm very nervous about it. It's just difficult to choose! A little bit about me: I'm an ambitious student. I have A's from all my subjects and I'm honestly pretty good at maths and physics, however I'm also interested in psychology and people. I'm ambivert and I need something dynamic, repetitiveness drains me out and bores me. I'm quite creative type of person too. I'm very passionate about travelling and meeting people all around the world. I wouldn't mind working remotely. Though I don't like programming and chemistry at all. I also don't wanna be a scientist, it feels quite isolating. I'm also worried about money and employability, I don't want to work for minimal wage or find out that my degree has barely any use after. Is there any career that would fit me? Thanks a lot in advance!
Conflicted on whether i should do classics at a good university or finance and accounting at mid university ?
Im resitting my alevels in math and economics, with classics as a new alevel, i previously failed physics, honestly i would really enjoy classics but it clashes with expectations, its unconventional to my parents, who’s approval i would need to gain, but F&A is vocational and straightforward, but i would only apply to mid tier Russel groups, compared to applying to classics at ucl, kcl- even though i am a resit student. Any advice?

Should i pursue- finance with accounting or economics or just straight finance?
I am a Year 13 student trying to decide whether I should pursue a degree in Finance & Accounting, Finance & Economics, or just Finance. I want a stable, decent-paying career, but I do not want anything too high stakes or high pressure like investment banking or trading. I am also not aiming to go to the very top 1% of universities. I have an interest in the legal side of things, but I know that career progression is generally easier to navigate in the finance sector. I am currently confused about whether to combine finance with accounting or economics. When it comes to finance, I am really drawn to the risk management side something that might be considered a bit boring, but pays well and offers good stability. On the other hand, I also really love the development and policy modules within economics. However, I want to avoid the heavy statistics side of the subject. Given these specific preferences, I am stuck on which option is the right pick for me.

what type of career or type of work do you see me doing
Hi! I'm a freshmen student in college . I am trying to understand what kind of work would suit me in the future. My strongest subject in highschool was journalism , where I enjoy creating fake magazines and ads for companies like Pepsi or NYX. I'm sort of outgoing or communicative, but I don't enjoy jobs that require you to sit for a long time. In Chemistry and Algebra I notice that I enjoy take notes about anything, and I notice I can learn a bit faster than normal, even if I don't like the subject. Considering these strengths and preferences, is it normal for someone like me to work in hospital-based or analytical jobs? What kind ofcareer should I consider ? Thank you

Business degree vs arts degree. Can I still get a creative job with my business degree or is it too late for me?
Hello everyone! I really am passionate about the arts, specifically film and I do a lot of editing, art and design stuff on my free time. I did illustrate a children's book for example back in high school, however, I did end up choosing to major in business and management for uni. I guess my question is if it is still possible for me to have a creative career in the future, perhaps as an art director, graphic designer, maybe somehow working in the film industry (if there are any others please mention them as well)? At the time, I chose to major in something other than the arts because I have to be able to have a form of "safety net" and because of my background, I figured an office job will also help me with stability and to continue pursuing my dreams. However, now almost a year later into my course I am worried that I closed doors for myself and I won't be able to have any sort of creative job at all. I feel a bit lost and worried right now, because as much as stability is important for me and I want to be able to take care of my parents I also have this deep ache in my heart that I cannot do what I love the most.

Is getting an associate's degree in English or Liberal Arts the better option?
Hello! I have previously sought college advice in some of my former posts about pursuing a Bachelor's degree. I am currently considering doing an Associate's degree instead of that and planning from there if going on to a Bachelor's is something I'm interested in. I would like to ask, since I'm interested in both English and Art, particularly editing, writing, publishing, (mainly thinking of smaller publishers in entry-level roles) or a career involved with art and design, would an associate's program in Liberal Arts or English be the better option? I am also taking into consideration concentrations, supplemental certificates, and other forms of experience I can get along with the degree. Thank you so much!
