Careers & Choices

Well i took German Geog History and P.E
i took those subjects becasue i enjoy them but they are also important to subjects to take.

If you dont no what you want to be yet take a wide range of subjects ! So whatever happens in the future you will be ok

With your gcse's you should just take the subjects that you enjoy most! You shouldn't worry about which subjects you will need for your future career; worry about that when you do your A levels!
At the end of the day the more practical subjects you study the less exams (good times), however more course work (bad times). Therefore, it's basically a no win situation; just enjoy your gcse's and they will be a doddle!

well, gabby i remember when i was in year 9 and i was just like you. i had input form family and friends, i say input because they kind of choose for me however they did help me make the right descion altough they told what i should take they left it open to me, my family had told me to take, business studies, I.C.T. and... well that was it i did not know what my option would be however i spoke to my cousin and she had taken geography so i was thinking of geography and put it down and never looked back and now because of that i am now doing A level Geogrpahy and i love it. so gabby the one thing that i would say to you would be that talk to family and friends and ask their opinions or if you know anyone who is doing their .G.C.S.E.s ask them or people who have done them and see what they took and why, i know that each person is individual but try talkin 2 them you could be surprised by whatthey say. however it is up to end in the end as you said before i know you would have heard of this by a lot of people before but just go for what your good at, good luck and i wish you well in the future

Calm down x

Whatever you take- you can take any subjects at A-level, even if you havnt took them for GCSE- and thats what counts. For now, take subjects you enjoy, are idealy good at, and will realte to your writting or interests for careers.

Good luck

I wouldn't worry about it if i was you. Im in year nine now and i have to do my options soon and my teachers are already trying to persuade me to do stuff i don't want to do.

Just sit down one day and write down all the jobs you might want to do and then look them up on the computer. Then you'll have a good idea of what you want to take.

xxx Hope this helps xxx

Hi
I was in the same place as you last year. what i did was think what subjects i liked and enjoyed doing and think of a job i think i would enjoy. I then thought what you like doing e.g looking after people. If you defiently want to be a writer thenn take on something to do with writing. But remeber you have one year to try it out and then if you dont like it in year 11 you get to change your choices.

hi gabbi

i was in the same position last year and as longs as you take subjects you enjoy it will be fine because you have to do them for two years so you might want some interest in them!. i took two vocational (art and CoPE, i dont know if you know what it is but its like citizenship) and one educational geog and one language this give it a wider range and looks good on your CV or when you go to college. you have to take english, maths and science anyway!

hope this helps!!

Well, i do French, Sport and Health + Social Care.
Language is a fantastic chose for an option as it opens up many career choices for you. A writer having languages skills seems a good idea to me.
If i were you...i would choose subjects where its going to help your job.

I had to drop plenty of other subjects i enjoy, e.g. drama and art. Although i know i'm getting pushed and it was the right chose for me.
:D Don't forget, English is essential.
I would do a language and maybe a subject you enjoy.

Hope that helps. x
