To be honest if i picked subjects i actually enjoyed and wanted to do my course would be something like this: Biology, English Language, History Revolutions, IT: Applications, IT: Software Development & [Politics OR Philosophy OR Economics OR Psyc]
Instead its: Biology, Chemistry, Methods, IT: Applications, IT: Software Development & English language.
When i was doing my course selection i picked biology simply because i needed a 6th subject, to be honest year 10 biology and previous years werent really that differentiated and didnt really give me that much of a taste either. It was a happy accident because now i really like biology.
As for the other two: chemistry & methods, i purely picked them at the time because i needed them. Ive had a particular distaste for math for most of my schooling but i carried on anyway. I absolutely dread class however and my teacher is a terrible always depressed and angsty little man, this doesnt add to my enjoyment of the subject.
I chose chemistry because in early ish year 10 when we were doing our course selections because i wanted to be a chemist (not a pharmacist) i thought it was a decent job untill i found it pays 50k a year and i actually talked to a chemist. So i totally changed my aspirations after that. Lucky i have chem however because i want to get into med and itd be impossible if i didnt havec chem.
However there were a lot more equations and formulas than year 10 chem lead me to believe, so i was slightly shocked and disappointed. I didnt mind the subject i guess and my teacher is a really fantastic one, he really helped a lot with my interest and motivation in it. I wasnt a huge fan overall but if i had any other teacher i probably would of resented it as well.
I guess i wrote a whole novel here but my point is if the system actually allowed me to pick the subjects i wanted instead of the subjects i needed id be much happier and not dread class sometimes and probably do better as well.
