DS has to choose his 6th form this coming term.
His original, maybe parroted but not thought-through plan was to 'do science' and maths A levels. He's said he was interested in engineering but the reality is, his triple science isn't going brilliantly, although his maths is fine (should get an A using last year's goalposts). And really, imho, he's not an engineering-y type; no 'taking things apart' style hobbies and so forth.
He was thinking 'Maths/Physics/Chem/Geog' at A level (and dropping one)
Out of the blue a couple of weeks ago, he asked me about accountancy! Now, I don't think for a second he really wants to be an accountant as he probably doesn't know much about it but I am beginning to feel his future might lie in an office, iyswim.
So, he's now wondering about Maths/Geog/Economics/? Computer Science or another science (Phys or Chem). Maybe.
But I know nothing about Economics as an A level, except you need maths to be able to do it.
Is it considered 'soft'? Is it very difficult? Is is a facilitating subject?
Anyone's thoughts very welcome!
