Do the A levels you're interested in, not the ones the teachers push you to do because you're good at them.

If you have the slightest feeling it’s not right, walk away early.

Don't let anyone else make decisions about your future for you. If you are unsure what you want to do, take some time to figure it out before committing to expensive degrees.
