      I really enjoyed physics. I did physics as one of my A levels but did not do it at university. I ended up doing statistics, but physics and applied maths would also have been fun. There is a lot of maths in physics of course.

    An easy question! I would have done history. I really enjoyed learning about how people throughout the ages behave and what impact that can have on all sorts of events. It is also interesting to see the impact of technology on history and how different groups of peoples and nations responded.

    I had a real battle to do history as my school wanted me to take all STEM subjects (maths, further maths, physics and chemistry). I liked them all but I wanted to choose history as it was my hobby and good fun so I didn’t do chemistry. I could have done history at university but to be honest, I felt that maths offered greater earning potential, so I could afford more history books!
