      Bethany Barratt aha lockdown has me on my phone pretty much all the time. I did media studies, sociology and PE which are pretty much all essay based. If they’re subjects you enjoy and are interested in then doing essays shouldn’t be a problem especially as you’ll be taught how to structure them which makes them a lot easier and less daunting x

    Year 10 but thinking a bit ahead. The subjects I enjoy are often essay based such as history and English, along with more creative ones like art and drama. I'm thinking of taking art, sociology and drama A-level but I'm worried that it'd limit my career options? They're quite different and I wasn't planning on taking a subject such as math or English lit/lang (but maybe history). I enjoy all 3 of them but don't know if they're too non-academic to not give a good degree or job... any suggestions..?

    • @serena8542
      @serena8542 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think all a levels have transferrable skills towards different degrees/employment. I think that those options are more limiting, but if you know how to waffle a bit and make them link then they are really good options and drama does include written exams and script writings so it has essay qualities.But if you want or can it may be better to do two more academic/essay subjects and just one art based one but their not bad options, good luck

      @frug7432 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@serena8542 Thanks, I appreciate your opinion. Since I made the comment, my options have stayed generally the same except instead of sociology I'd possibly do pyschology or a type of science as I may want to go into a human science type career. However, since I've always been between the two career paths, I thought I'd take drama as it's a saught out qualification to have if taking a law degree, and a human science so I can keep options a little more open and generalized.

    I'm going into year 11 this year so I will need to apply for my a levels soon, and I am currently doing sociology at GCSE, and its a lot of content, and the key studies are the hardest to remember for me, but I do genuinely find it interesting.

      @@GuyFawkesuphistory54 Hi! Sociology went well for me, I made a lot of mind maps with all the content on it and made sure I knew my studies and perspectives, as that's how you boost your mark. I ended up studying psychology at university although I'm looking to go into teaching social studies which includes sociology. Hope that was helpful!
