    Ive picked maths, further maths, business and media as im planning to go on to do a degree in computer science in uni. I went from a grade 4 to a high 8 in gcse maths within the span of 3 months as i realised i really liked the subject and i was so determined to do it at alevel - and here i am lol

    What’s your take on math, fm, economics and business studies?
    I love math. I might go into the economics/math field.
    But I feel like physics would be more helpful instead of business cuz I just want a really high-paying job. And engineering is one of them, but I hate physics.
    I tried to do physics a-level but it’s horrible so I swap to business especially when one is not passionate about it
    So, my question is, would the subject I chose give me a top-paying job or not?

    • @mitchelldye
      @mitchelldye  Місяць тому

      The subjects you chose would be great for a maths-based degree (shocking), something along the lines of Maths/Statistics would pay very well along with economics/accounting as well. Physics is very hard and it's extremely difficult to study something that is hard and you don't enjoy so you made the right choice IMO.
      Maths-based subjects at university pay extremely well in general. Stock brokerage is also a career you can look into with a ton of opportunity in London. Engineering is a lot slower in the UK at the moment

    Hi, for those of us who are self-studying Maths Edexcel a-level when will you start uploading the videos? You uploaded prep work but I want to know when the a-level videos will come out and at what time. Plus, will they be an hour long, like normal maths lessons? Thanks!

    • @mitchelldye
      @mitchelldye  Рік тому

      Hi! Those prep lessons are actually the first few chapters of Maths, so they are good for learning :) I'm going to rebrand them now that summer is over.
      As for the other episodes, I have a lot of the already recorded. I'm thinking of doing them weekly, I dont want to release them too quickly otherwise you guys wont study each topic fully. If I restrict it a bit, you can go back and revise which is incredibly important.
      As for the length, I honestly think that 1 hour is a little too long. Instead they hover around 30-45 minutes. When we do full exam papers then they will have to be over an hour, just because it's a lot of content :)
