Hi Ds is 15, he had a "careers interview" with someone from connexions.
Ds is an academic all rounder who could do anything, though probably will be happier doing arts rather than sciences I think.... (projected grades A/A* at GCSE across the board).
I'm a bit confuzzled as I only really know about straight forward academic subjects and psychology was suggested for him, which is completely off my radar. Apparently he has "good people skills" so that would suit him ...
Does he need to continue biology to do psychology at a Russell group uni? Where would it take him longer term?
Not helped by my personal experience of "connexions" via work being the ones that place the struggling kids into very low horizon placements- the predictable "you're female and not academic at all do an NVQ in child care". The "report" from the interview was unreadable scrawl on a carbon copy!
