What Subjects To Take And Concentrate On For Careers?
I would like to have a good job for the future and was wondering if you could give me some advice on:
Which subjects to take and concentrate on for GCSE and A-Levels.
Chances and availability of the jobs.
Tips on exams and coursework.
These are the list of my dream jobs:
Accountant (Maths etc)
Something with typing (Computers)
Chef (Food)
Food Critic (Food)
IT Programmer (Like Bill Gates or Someone)
Game Programmer (Create games for popular consoles)
Actor (In sitcoms or movies. Like Daniel Radcliffe. Maybe theatres but rather not)
Details:
I am good at maths and mainly most of the subjects. I am going to begin my GCSEs soon and the subjects I am taking are; English, Maths, Science, Citizenship, Religious Studies/ Religious Education, Physical Education, Business Studies, Drama, Info. Technology and French.
Also, any advice on writing a CV and I have got my Work Experience coming up. Any websites that also help. I am currently 14 and going to start my Year 10. I live in the UK in London.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks In Advance :)

Your 14 remember, so you probably don't know what you excel at yet!
First of all, learning should be fun, and life long.
Just remember in the real world qualifications are one thing, being able to do the job is another. Flexibility is key, don't say you want to be something as to progress quickly (in terms of salary) you'll probably jump jobs a fair bit.
In my case, my GCSEs and A-levels are average, yet I gained a first class degree in just one year! Why? Because I realised after mainstream education I was pretty good at Accountancy/Business, I'm now in my early twenties and a lecturer.
My peers from school still have this stupid idea that, if they progress with exams, they'll gain promotion, not if you can't do the job!
And before you go off to uni (which everyone seems to do), think is there another way i can gain skills, as degrees in my opinion are only worth it if they are needed to enter a profession!
