I am in year 11, doing my GCSES. I want to know what A-Levels you recommend for this. I hate doing chemistry; it's one of my worst subjects yet I am not sure if I need it. I don't mind biology, and I do really enjoy physics. Please also help on what I should do for university, or if I should even go. Maybe an apprenticeship ? How many years would this take me and does anybody know the average salary? I don't want to really study for a LONG time, i want to still make money at the same time, but in a job that would help me. Anyways, please help me!
