Wondering which university degrees lead into good careers. My son is keen on history and geography, however is also getting good reports for science, although he is not super keen on maths. We have been encouraged to look at 6th form colleges options as part of supporting him in choosing his GCSEs. A local 6th form college strongly recommends taking A level maths if choosing a physics A level which I'm not sure he'll enjoy. He loves history but apart from generic 'any degree' graduate schemes it doesn't seem to lead him directly into a job. Given the cost of going through university we are keen to know a bit more about potential post-graduation destinations.

I think his dream job would be to design villages! Yes my partner talks a lot about AI, I read recently that a lot of artists eg Damien Hirst have concerns/involvement in the issue of the AI production of art.

Geography can lead to well paid careers, not sure history can.
They have the same short term grad salary - average of £34k.
