GCSE's mean very little for the most part. 

[Extingquish]

It depends what job interview, but film studies and performing arts stand out to me as being useless in a tech related interview

 

edit: just saw art, it's more useful than the others, but depending on what you do, (I'm only doing GCSEs next year so I don't know) they might still disregard it

Sure so I should just do performing arts, drama and art shall I?

Honestly you'd need top talk it over with a teacher or someone similar, eg. if you wanted to be an actor, performing arts, art and film studies would help greatly. Other jobs not so much

[werto165]

Film studies is the only one that pops out at me that's really bad, art, drama and performing arts have their place, as many interviewers want someone who is easy to relate to and work with, drama and performing arts can help in that regard. But it's not really down to me, just do whatever you enjoy, there is no point in pursuing a career that you're just going to hate.

While this is a highly convoluted subject these days I used to do hiring for two different firms in two different fields. We always looks for previous job or work experience even if it was in a completely different field and valued it more over any form of post-secondary education. This view is shared by every business-owner I know. But in terms of "Most lucrative" I would easily say Computer Science.

[CydiaDash]

It depends what kind of job you want to do I guess, starting my GCSEs in the next year or two lol. Wish me luck

I am doing drama and computing for my gcses to get use to public talking and I want a it jobs so badly.

Computer science is seen as a science (not IT - they are much different), most Russell groups will accept CS as a science replacement, but uni's don't care much for IT, for example, Manchester says that IT is not accepted in place of a science or CS. Also art and performing arts and defiantly film studies would be, at max. a 4, languages higher and PE is worth nothing to most Russell group unis. I think languages would be a 2 or 3 also. This is quite general though, if your going into art based stuff art will be more important but if your going into a science or computing degree they will be next to useless.

They are not different. they are the same. Computer Science is a more specialised section of ICT. I think i should know, I am a third Year university student studing computer science and I am top of my Course.

By definition, yes, by subject, no. A degree in Computing is much more desired by employers than anything to do with IT. CS is a section of It but in terns of subjects and courses it's not. If you want a job as a software engineer any qualification with IT in the name will most likely get you no where if you don't have prior experience whereas CS is usually a requirement. This guy is also talking about GCSE's, most uni's (Manchester example)  don't care about IT because it doeskin give a proper indication of your logical thinking or problem solving but CS does hence why they accept it as a science (at Manchester at least).

 

Also, for iGCSE (my school only did iGCSE so I don't know about GCSE, however iGCSE's are generally the same syllabus just more challenging tasks and questions) IT the hardest thing you do is html and css with excel and access as well whereas iGCSE computing is based on Visual Basic hence why it is harder, you actually have to code in CS (you get to use Dreamweaver in IT as well so you hardly even code in html which is easy as it is anyway).

Any uni I have applied for as require an A-LEVEL in IT because IT is a subsection of computing. Computing is the entire sector from ICT to Software engineering. In IT when i was at school I was learning Java and C#, granted they are not hard to learn but not something you would expect to be taught to someone who is doing an A-Level In IT.

 

The uni I am in now required a A-level in any IT or related field or an HNC or HND in computing or IT.

 

Being a Third year Uni student i can say that IT is computing but it is a section of it just like how software engineering is and web development.

Tell me where it mentions an A-Level it IT on any of these sites:

http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/degrees/common_pages/ug/entry_requirements_undergraduate/

 

They only require Maths and prefer a science (physics or computing / CS), there is no mention of IT because, for example, iGCSE ICT consists of the office suit and HTML which doesn't test logical thinking and is not very hard especially not when compared to CS and the theory is not much harder either for GCSE ICT. Also oxford says this: "ICT isn’t particularly relevant to us, so won’t be considered a particularly positive point on your application, but it isn’t “blacklisted”. "
