Hey, I recently did my O levels in Chemistry, physics, biology, math, eng lang, islamiyat, pak-studies and urdu....... i am waiting for my result this August and am apply for A levels....
As i plan to do law in the future, i am puzzled as to what A level subjects i should take..... Any help would be appreciated.....!!!
So far, i have narrowed down the subject options to Math, Physics and economics as my main subjects..... and am considering psychology/sociology as my fourth..... so what do u think??


good subject combination!!!! Better to take LAW as an ALevel subject and physics as a fourth AS Subject

Hello FAHMEED. I will be pretty thankful to have your assistance regarding my future. I have completed my O Levels in Bio group. Now i chose engineering field. Beside it, i am interested in giving Css examination in future. What shall i opt??? Fsc Or A levels. And even which subjects i shall take in future? Very very thanks if u guide me in this case.


A-Levels or FSc, nothing matters for CSS. What matters is having a degree in the field. What do u want to do in future

Wht can we do after bs in computer sciences ?
career and university in Pakistn


There are many options available for computer sciences students. It all depends on your last year of degree, as which field u want to specialise.
Future of computer science depends on Pakistan's GDP growth rate. If economy is doing good, so will IT Sector

Hey Fahmeed, really need your counseling. First of all, I'm taking A levels: Bio, Physics, Chemistry and Maths. I feel like I'm not so interested in medical field, but more towards maths. I always wanted to do something related to arts and design, no offence,but it's true to that those field related to arts and design have very high unemployment rate nowadays. I'm thinking of architecture or civil engineering, but more towards architecture (which probably not really related to what am I studying right now). What should I do? :/


Dear perplexed,
You are in A-Levels, and it's a critical time for u. Better decide ASAP.
The field for architecture and civil eng. is prospering and I would recommend to choose one of these from all your possible aspirations.

Hey fahmeed,
I feel myself lucky to come across this thread ...
I m veryyyyy confused in carreer selection and eventually uni selection ... My A level Subs are Maths, Fur Maths, Physix, Chem, Eco ..
There are too many choices to select from ... Maths is my BackBone...
Choices I perfer are: Actuarial Sciences, applied Mathematics, Teacher MAthematics, Mathematics and statistics, Petroleum engineering, chemical engineering... and some physix stuff ...
any advice will be appre3ciated..


Excellent subject selection.
If you like to study Maths further, I would recommend to study from the West, so that u have a good job prospect.
My personal preference would be Actuarial Science.
Pet eng. is only a viable option for middle east and canada (in future), and chemical eng. is a good but tough field.

Hmm... is it advisable to go for an ISSB based scholarship and join an army training program through a university like NUST if you can qualify? I ask because the minimum you'd have to serve without paying penalty is 10-15 years in the military.

Any people who are taking this approach?

My alternative would be to privately go through a university and get a degree, and then do CSS to pursue a career in the Foreign Office. I'm really interested in a job that lets me travel a lot(especially eastward like China, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, etc) and pays well.

Which would you advise? Are there any postings through the military that involve a lot of travel?


Both are great!!!!!!!!! Try out ISSB first. If u qualify, better go for it.
In the future do CSS, and then take retirement from armed forces any time.

Hi, i really need your help im soo lost ....i have done my AS level i took chem math and phy but unfortunately i got only a D in PHY ...i am going to take chem and math for my A level i want to become a nuclear engineer but now i'm confused as i have come across this course "renewable energy engineering" and i'm soo confused can you please tell me the difference between those two courses ....because what i want to master in nuclear engineering is producing electricity and energy from wind solar etc .basically replacement of oil but now i want to know the difference between the two courses as i mentioned...and can i get into these courses with only chem and math in my A level ..??will the universities accept that....also do i go straight to the field when i go to UNI or is there any courses i have to do before...like chemical engineering???.....



nuclear eng. is a well-known qualification, and the renewable energy eng. is not known to everybody.

better go on with the former, as we dont know that will their be a big BOOM in renewable energy sector in future

So, Agha Khan is the best, right?
What will i have to do?
What subjects should i take in A-Level?
I am good at Sciences.
I have an interest in Physics, Chem and Biology.
Should i also take Business subjects in O-Level, for more A's? Will they help?

And, what about Surgeons? Is that a good-earning field?
Please, tell me the process. Will i have to do M.B.B.S after A-Level? Then what?

Architecture from Canada is better. Do choose a uni that has co-op available. I prefer University of Waterloo.
