Ahh Help!!

[baby_gal_naz]

Okay, I need to apply for unis soon and my parents are doing my head in and scaring the shit out of me. :| They want me to do medicine at uni, but I've decided I want to do a maths degree instead. Now they're telling me that if I do that, I can only work in a bank. :-s I was speaking to my cousin and he said I'd have a lot of career opportunities and my mum was asking me what were they are. The thing is, I have no idea. :| I really don't know the type of job I want when I'm older so I was just hoping some of you lot could enlighten me on the type of jobs I could get if I did a degree in maths.


Please and thank you!

i believe it was my favourite new york jew squad who said

"you gotta fight..for your right..to parrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrtay"

do so and you cannot go wrong.

do what you want to do, not what your parents want as chances are you will fuck it right up as you have no enjoyment.

[kudiPaTaKa]

Yo, google it. You'll get more answers than on here. :o

[SeXy^Shorty]

That isn't true they try to pressurize you to finish UCAS by then but you don't have to actually finalise it until February time. Ignore the college dates go on UCAS and it will tell you.

[RL_RHCP]

hmmmmmmm what are ur predicted grades

if ur gonna do med / dent u gotta do that new test and apply by oct 15th

uni choice is hard

choose 2 amazing
2 average
2 easy

or 4 average

look for grades incase u slip

do work exp in diff carreers even a day or so can help u decide

where job prospects r concerned...most unis have employment pie charts...so start looking through

if all fails go on the ucas site...and do alphabetical list of courses....keep looking at each letter, and write down something thats remotely interesting

then do ur research keep it brief

course / uni / grades / 3 good points ... 1 negative

should help u sort something out

dont worry u got the 6 weeks hols 2

meanwhile do as much voluntary work / extra curriculars as poss and get started on an ace personal statement

[SSSash]

Do law.

emm.... thats bs. dont kno about maths, but as for engineering, only around 12% of graduates with engineering degrees actually go into engineering... since a large part of engineering is maths i'm assuming that the same wud apply to maths...

but then again if u'r gna do a degree in maths u cud become an actuary... what they do is basically use maths to assess risks... they get around £90,000 pa

basically A levels are 50% AS and 50% A2, its easier to do better in AS so make sure if u want As to get As in all ur AS modules....high Bs tend not to cut it .... A2 most ppl drop a bit...uve got 2 take it in2 account

but yeah dont worry too much

hope ur good!
