<p>hi,
I'm a student (16) in the UK, and in about a week i have to make a decision on the five subjects i want to continue next year for my A levels. Im almost 100% certain that I want to do engineering at university, but I'm not sure which exact field. However, the subjects I choose should be reflective of this to some extent. For example, if I know right now that I'll definitely end up doing ChemE, it would be more beneficial for me to do biology as a subject; but if I already know that I'll do, say, CompSci, then it would help more for me to do computing. my other four A levels, which I'm certain about, are: </p>
<p>Mathematics
Further Mathematics
Physics
Chemistry</p>
<p>I'm aware of what each different form of engineering entails, but I would appreciate your views on where engineering is heading in the next 20/30 years or so, and which specific branches would yield best career opportunities. Incidentally, I'm very interested in physics and maths and wouldn't mind continuing these to a higher level, but as far as I'm aware the job opportunities for these fields are rather poor. Likewise, I'm interested in aspects of computer science but outsourcing seems to be a major problem. And hopefully I won't be using Engg as a stepping stone to I-banking!</p>
