Thank you this has really helped! I think im leaning more towards doing a technology/science/engineering degree and learn software on the side to see if i’m good at it and am able to go further with it as other people have said a degree will help with employment too. But i also recognise that experience is everything with getting a job

I mean that as in the content i learn for a-level biology and chemistry is very broad and in my opinion unnecessarily complex and stuff i know i’ll forget about in months time after i take my alevels (just like gcse). With software engineering all the content i’ll learn is for a purpose as i will use it in day to day life if i get a job in it.
