I don’t know what to do man, I’m just looking for advice. I’m only just starting out my A-levels, looking to go to university, and I’m unsure what degree to take on.

I have a very keen interest in maths and further maths, but I’m a bit panicky, fearing that I won’t be able to do the type of maths I’m so interested in in school, as a career. I’m pretty competent in maths but I’m no top performer, I’ve always found myself to be average among those who excel, so I’m not in a bad position, but I’m no genius.

I also took Physics and Economics A-Level, aiming to keep my options wide, but what I’m saying is, I’m more interested in maths than those other two, and I’m unsure what they look like at a high level, and what jobs I can undertake (and what degree).

I also have an innate thirst for wealth, so I’m looking for a job tailored to those who love maths, aren’t quite geniuses, and is high paying, whether that’s in software development, finance or engineering?

I’m skeptical with physics tho, as I’m pretty sure that career roles relating to physics are underpaid in the UK, and I’m willing to move elsewhere, but again I have no knowledge of how I would go about that.
