I seem to recall thinking it was relatively “easy” at O Level and this was the basis of my course selection for A Level, as opposed to choosing courses for a defined career path. As you have said before, who the fúck really knows what they want to be at 16.
I cannot recall a course which would have helped me become a rampant stud muffin.
In the end in hindsight I appear to have chosen to be an Irish speaking economist who knew how to do whatever a physics person does.
