A-Level choices
My school has decreded that my a-level choices cant be done because of option blocks. My clash is between Biology and Geography. I want to be a Doctor but i realise that its 1 in 10 chance so i need to take geography to give me a plan B beacause my second career choice would be in volcanolgy or conservation. If i drop geog i have no plan B and if i drop bio i have no medical school.
HELP ME!

What are your other choices?
Biology... rather absurdly... isn't a necessity for A-Level if want to be a Doctor. Especially if you got an A* in your GCSE.
Chemistry is considered more important (and useful) to have than Biology!
Maths, Chemistry and Biology are a good combination for medicine, but Chemistry and Maths are more important than the Biology. x
I also think you'd be fine for a geology course without geography as long as you've something like Chemistry or Physics.
I would however suggest you think rather carefully abuot volcanology (although it's early to think about specific discipline)
Vulcanologists do have a disturbingly regular habit of meeting a rather sticky end.
