I am looking at a joint honours degree, but wonder which combination to take on. i have done philosophy, spanish, maths and physics at a level and gotten as and bs for all of them. at o levels, i have got as and bs in chemistry, english, geography, maths. what i really want to do at degree level are one or two of the following subjects : psychology, philosophy, maths and economics. how do i go about choosing?? my future career interests lie mainly in arts - writer/biographer/editorial work, or in the socially-related field- counselling/psychologist/teach... certain scientific/investigative jobs - experimental or developmental psychology/urban or regional planning/speech pathology/archaology/anthropol... - are also interesting to me, but definitely not business, sales, transport, finance, or corporate type jobs. what subject combos of the above are also best in terms of occupational outlook w/o need for immediate further training in a masters/phd??

It is always best to concentrate on the subjects at which you do best! (sorry about the capitals but, perhaps they are appropriate) do not try to analise the situation much - go with your heart - and common sense (ok, an unlikely combination!) i changed my life, at the age of 17, when i gave up the offer of a course at university in industrial chemistry to join a firm of accountants for a five year course. never , ever , regreted it and have, with my supportive wife, done exceptionally well ever since (both financially and (what is the right word?) ) totallly perhaps -with our family of three boys and three grandsons. think first, then go with your heart. nice luck fot the future!
