Subject selection for possible lawyer or english teacher?

[krischuffer]

Hey everyone! At the moment Im currently really unsure on what subjects to choose for next year. Im in year 10 right now doing unit 1/2 Chemistry. My plan is to (hopefully) get an ATAR of at least 85 and either study law or english at University.

Im definitely going to continue Chemistry next year, so thats one spot down. Im going to do Legal Studies, Literature and Methods as well. In addition, I also really want to do an extra 3/4 in Year 12 so I have more variety for what can be in my top 4. Does anyone recommend doing Legal only 3/4 in Year 12 instead, or is there too much vital background knowledge needed?

Here's my issue. Im struggling between Media and possibly Psychology, Philosophy, Australian Politics and Global Politics. I know I don't have enough space for all of these. Is Aus or Global politics better? Would it be good to do it alongside Legal? Also, I know everyone says to do subjects you enjoy regardless of it scales up, but Im worried for if I do media. It scales down by a bunch and I dont wanna risk my ATAR just cause i like movies. (that sounds kinda mean, im sorry thats not my intention) I think Psychology scales down as well, but Im not too sure. Philosophy really interests me, but my school might not offer it, and Im not up for Distance ed.

I hope this makes any sort of sense, I really need help on this, so thank you for even reading this. I appreciate it very much.
