Hey, I am in my first year of 6th form (British system, age 16-17) and am looking at the degrees I want to look at for when I go to university. I am really interested in a career in this sector, it's something I am passionate about and I think I may have a chance of having a decent job. I am currently taking the A-levels: Computing, Physics, Maths and 'Systems & Control' (basically electronics). I did my first year of Computing early so I am completing a level computing this year and will complete the other a levels next year.
I am stronger with the physics and electronics side of things than maths and computing, how much complex mathematics is needed vs. the slightly less painful stuff in physics?
What is the best route into an audiophile career - I think that a degree is the best way to get a highly paid job, but I'm also interested in the prospect of doing an apprenticeship, would that harm my overall salary over the years? If I do go the degree route, which seems to be more likely, what courses should I be looking at? One that seems to be very good is here (BEng/MEng Acoustical Engineering H722). Would this be the correct option, or is a more generic course better, and would you be able to recommend any good universities for this type of course?
Thanks,
Ben
P.S. if you know of an audiophile-related company that could possibly sponsor my education or give an apprenticeship that would be fantastic (I might even be willing to move to a different country)
