I helped a friend with this decision....

And her parents accepted the decision.

In the end, you never know what you like, unless you really try it. Psychology is very useful for personal life, as well a professional. But what will you ultimately be? That is the real question.

I mean, if you are going to go after a high profile job, with A LOT of pay, then a commercial job is most adequate. I understand these parents, and often they do not understand the motives behind your decisions.

Perhaps you can discuss this with Roxy(she took psychology), or Mony, they are very good at helping people decide on this. But, you can come to me, and perhaps, you also need to start asking the real questions, and that is Who you are, and who you intend to become. Often, you need to pave your own path, to become distinct from the others.

Often subjects can be more deceiving, because ultimately the job may be a lot of fun....

And I understand your parent's concern. But with proper reason, and the faith they entrust in you, you will come to make the right decision. iA.

hey :) it's true what u take in ur alevels is important, but not like THAT important that you can't change your mind later on. Ex: If you take science subjects now, you can still change your mind after a-levels and go into a commerce course at uni, but vice versa wouldn't be possible.As in taking a commerce a-level might not gain you entry into science courses at uni.  However, knowing what you want to do in the future specifically will inshaAllah define how to prepare from now for it.

I'd say you should follow where your interests lie. where you find some sort of personal enthusiasm/passion. Something you can do ALL the time and not get bored  :D which in your case seems to be PSYCHOLOGY. :-X
If you want to become a psychologist, you should probably take a combo of the science subjects, psychology/maths in your a-levels. But it involves long years of study, as opposed to accounting where you'll probably be getting your first real job earlier. Google up what both careers involve, what you'd have to study, look up the a-level requirements at the uni you hope to go to :) I've heard some unis in egypt don't even need A-Levels :o

Abt the engineering thing, I wldn't do it if it's just for the heck of it, along the lines of " pays good salary, don't mind physics, why not?...."
Think of yourself 10-15 years from now working in the profession you're considering, are you enthusiastic abt going to work everyday? or is it just "3adi" (is tht how u spell it? ;D

Oh and about your parents , being a psychologist would be like being a doctor. maybe that'll make them more welcome to your ideas  :-\I think physicians earn more than engineers too.

He means you have to research into yourself... And figure what do you WANT or have a BURNING DESIRE to do! If you go at the 'present opportunity', which may not as well be what you WANT, you may regret later that you didn't do what you wanted to do. :)

Though we sometimes choose the path that have the most opportunities at the moment but then again if its not your passion, you will be miserable for for the whole life of your career.

Not really . I took Physics since it's My favorite subject Plus because of the Salary i was talking about :P

I took Chemistry since i was kind of freaked out from the Idea of having a LONG syllabus Again . and i took Math since MOST colleges demand it .

But as for my future , Not even close  :-\ :-X ...I even started having this weird idea of becoming a translator
-__-

So ya :-[
