Do you think, for example that you need anthropology or art history to be an good engineer?

True some courses are not related to your major but all knowledge is beneficial it helps make you well rounded. If all you studied were courses directly pertaining to your career could you converse with say a rocket scientist if there is no common ground? Every course helps open new areas of interest and could even affect you in such a powerful way as to make you change your career goals..

Thats sounds like a good idea as you will def need physics at a very good level to do engineering!...;

Engineering, mechanical engineering, structural engineering and art...4 year Bachelor of Science degree at a minimum, although Masters degree would place you at a better competitive starting point.

Latin would be impressive if you're doing a language course or any course really. It would show that you're not affraid of seriously hard work.\n\nFor any science or engineering course, maths is essential. It would also be impressive for a business/finance course due to the use of statistics. ICT would be good for a science course. Physics is good as the basis of any of the other hard (not soft) sciences, such as chemistry.\n\nEnglish language and English literature for a media career.

In all honesty, I think the answer is yes.  I believe the politically correct, polite answer is no...but the reality is yes.  Knowing how to use what you do have is really important, but the basic requirements must be met regardless of skill.

I think depends on what kind of careers you are talking about.\n\nAny specialized degree like MD, engineer and architech definitely require certain degrees to obtain the job. But something like journalism, photography, marketing..it is a good idea to have a degree, but not required. \n\nI graduated with a degree in journalism and omg, I have met so many people out there with more experiences and all without any degree, but make more than me, can do better than me over times. So in my case, I don't think degrees are that important.

Engineering is a bad choice if you are struggling with physics. A weakness in Physics is often a signal of poor mathematical skills which are essential for an engineer.

No, just depends how you use what you know.\n\nAs in...smart arsed know it all, or\nVery educated and interesting.

Architecture deals with designing buildings so they look pretty and Civil engineering deals with building them so they don't fall with the first wind they face. Civil engineering involves more math, phisics, chemistry in order to choose good materials for the construction and architecture involves drawing and design. So i guess it depends on what you like more, drawing or calculating. And money... it depends on where you work.

As far as collegiate studies go, I would focus more on engineering, and study psychology on your own time. Quite frankly, engineering is harder, and using outside resources makes more sense for that discipline. Hey, I like psychology, too, but I didn't need a college course to have a college-level understanding about how the human mind works. Learning how to make a suspension bridge is a different matter entirely. I would rather be instructed by someone who has built a bridge, or knows how to, before I try to build one.

Architecture is one of the few subjects that incorporates both the arts and the sciences and as such it's useful to have qualifications in both areas.\n\nThere are no hard and fast rules when applying to universities as they each apply their own set of entry requirements and your choice of art, design and maths would provide you with a good grounding.\n\nWith the advent of computers a lot of the traditional skills of the architect are not so much needed - drawings and designs are created electronically as opposed to sitting at a drawing board for hours on end.\n\nArchitecture also involves a lot of maths and physics.  You have to understand how structures work and be able to determine what will and won't work (and safely).  For example, it might look very nice to have a fancy cantilevered vieweing platform projecting from the side of a building but if it causes the building to collapse then it's not very practical; you'd have to calculate all the forces involved and design your building to accomodate these forces.\n\nThere's an article from The Independent that you may find useful... http://education.independent.co.uk/higher/az_degrees/article26969.ece \n\nGood luck with your A levels and future degree course.

I think it depends on what you want to study.\n\nSome subjects need 3D projects ( like architecture). some need you to do things in Labs - like Chemistry and Physics.\n\nYou will be missing the social benefits that expose you to a lot of information in subjects you are not taking, but your friends are taking.\n\nBut if you are only concerned with learning one subject, like English, Psychology, Social Science, Sociology, some of the Humanities, Geography, Computer Science, Mathematics ---- well, on-line seems like it would be OK.

you learn engineering in the specific area (mechanic, electronic, computer science, etc.)

No.  \n\nYou need to be able to describe how to make/use/do your invention in sufficient detail so that someone else can make/use/do it.  And there must be a reasonable belief that it will actually do what it is purported to do.

Yes, i think it can be, but only when those skills and knowledge are in the basics level. Once you get to specialize, is dificult to continue getting deeper knowledge on every technology that exist.

A good GPA, few research papers and good recommendations. But a PhD is almost necessary!
