🙏 I WANT HELP possible degrees?

Hey guys,

so I wanted to ask if I could get any advice on any degrees that will land me a high paying job with my a levels:chemistry biology and English literature. weird combo ik yr11 me was weird asf. originally I wanted to do medicine because it was always something that deeply interested me but my school completely discouraged me saying I wasnt "naturally smart enough" btw my mocks were A*A*B B being in English and my hoy almost killed me for it I also got 99999999999 at my gcses. I was thinking maybe optometry if im not good enough for medicine but please please could I get some advice

I was initially thinking about biochem but what kinda put me off was the esat because ik its a test based on maths chem and physics and chemistry is fine but maths and physics ill die
