The other answers here are great, and I agree with them. If you really enjoy these subjects, I would say you can't go wrong in the fields on computer science or even data science. Both very popular fields with competitive salaries all around the world.

Hi , there are plenty of options with your subjects, e.g. Engineering, Science, etc. In Engineering, there are many different Engineering subjects , e.g. Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, etc. Similarly, there are many Science subjects, e.g. Physics, Chemistry, Biology, etc.
I would suggest you can explore what major and minor you would like to take in the university and the relevant entry requirement before you shortlist the 3 subjects for your A levels.
On the other hand, you should choose the subjects / career you that you are interested on rather than determining by the salary level. The career offering high salary today but it may not offer the same when you graduate. The world keep changing everyday. It is a pain to work on an occupation you have no interest everyday .
Hope this helps! Good Luck!

Thank you so much for your answer however I was a bit bothered after seeing couple of my family friends followed their passion and are still struggling to earn bread after 20 years of their degree. So I wanted to make a balance of choosing one of my favourite subjects to master in and explore the market demand at the same time

Hi DD, there is no career that can guarantee giving you a fortune. However, there are always best people in different occupations. On the other hand, money cannot buy happiness. If you can make some good money, but you are not happy. It is even worse. Hope you can understand!

John’s Answer
The engineering areas usually is where these interests best fit and if you're more computer oriented then you have computer sciences as well. Physics, Calculus, chemistry for the main engineering degrees like mechanical engineering.
Thank You John.

Anything that has to do Data! More accurately anywhere from Data Engineering to the interpretation and derived insights from all the data organizations in today's world have and need to account for in making decisions.
Think about it, there is almost no industry that is or will go untouched with this trend. Often, success and failure will come down to miniscule difference in how efficient one organization is over another. Those small but impactful gold nuggets (they add up to a lot) are found in mountains of data.
People with the ability to work with and creatively jump/present insights from the data will be positioned well into the future.
Math (Statistics) and Computer Science (To import, clean, transform data sets) are skills ripe for the Data Science, Analytics field.
