For me I would say linguistics, any explanation loses me almost immediately. Maybe Law, I'd have to be extremely bored to even begin to think about trying to care.

Computing intruiges me, I know absolutely nothing about it, it would take a long time for me to learn but hopefully I could pass.

Music, as I haven't had the prior training (or got the talent) that I assume you need as a baseline but I think also engineering would be a real uphill struggle. Computer science etc as I simply have zero interest.

Veterinary Medicine. The first time some creature pissed on me, shat on me, covered me in stinking pus or attacked me I would be out of the door.

Vets are a different breed, and I’ve known a few.

Physics, maths and art. Shockingly bad at all three sadly

I've managed to fail at undergraduate level in two subjects I'm supposedly interested in and quite good at, so I think possibly I couldn't get a degree in anything at all 😞

I've got lots of vocational training and loads of other skills, but have accepted I am just not academic

I was a AAB student before that though, and got quite a few level 3 qualifications. But that is my academic glass ceiling

Maths, chemistry, physics or anything business/marketing related.

I recon I could pass art type subjects including drama or writing.

Would love to do an English literature or history degree though.
