I'm in my final year of secondary school (UK) and now our school is getting us to apply for colleges and decide what we are going to do for a level etc...

I'm interested in being a child psychologist, anybody know what I would need to take in order to do that?

However, i'm not 100% sure thats what I want to do.
I've also been interested in teaching, and being a police officer.

I don't mind English and History and I like sport (leadership stuff too)

I just don't FULLY know what I want to do, and it seems like loads of people at my school have decided and know what they want to do, I know i'm not the only one it just feels that way.

Anybody got any advice they could give me? It's just it's starting to get quite pressuring and frustrating not knowing lol!

Thanks :)

Do subjects you like or are good at.

PE doesn't count as an A level.

Maths is REALLY hard.

I'd say biology and physcology for being a child psychologist, and the only way to find out would be to look at entry requirements for the course at different Uni's

I'm meant to be finalising my Uni applications right now, and i've only within the last couple of weeks decided on what I want to do and where, so it's good you're thinking about it now, but the pressure is not needed yet.

So yeah, just do whichever subjects you like and will be able to do well in!

Have you researched all your options? If not you should! Find out like daily tasks, pay, everything! Maybe you could call some places and ask to shadow. Probably not a cop, but inside the jail maybe. Look the stuff up :P
