Ds is in his final year of A'levels - physics, geography and computer science, also got a grade c in a one year core maths course this year and passed his gcse english language with a 4 (failed it last year).
He's dyslexic, hates essay writing and required a scribe in his gcses, his work ethic is also variable 
. Despite admitting that he didn't do that much revision for gcses, he passed 10, no 7s but missed at least 4 by just a couple of marks, in the end got mainly 5s and 6s. He initially wanted to apply for the raf and do something computer related but has an eye condition which although stable for years, precludes him from joining up. He didn't fancy uni because of the 'essay writing' and hated the idea of being stuck in formal education so decided to look into apprenticeships. That was until covid when presumably the economic uncertainty will reduce the numbers available. We don't live in a particularly well off area (nw) so opportunities will be even more scarce and competitive I imagine. His tutor at college has now persuaded him to consider doing a degree but he really hasn't got a clue what in....preferably something that doesn't involve much essay writing and is more practice based but not sure there actually is such a thing. He's predicted c's and maybe b's if he really knuckles down (which he seems to be doing). Just wondered if anyone had been in a similar predicament ? He actually really enjoys physics/geography so I feel a practical degree would be more suitable...any ideas or experience ?
