Subject: please help

i am in year 9 and am choosing my options, right now i have choosen maths , english literature, english language, double award science, spanish, history, RS and french. Are there any GCSEs that i have missed off that might be really useful in starting a career as a barrister?
is there anything that would be really useful that is not on the list?
also in RS we would do philosophy and ethics but i was wondering if Geography would be more useful in a career in law? which one would be more usefulfor law and being a barrister? plz help

Hope this helps :
If you wish to study law at university prior knowledge of the subject material isn’t usually required or sometimes encouraged even. For this reason subjects that require you to write, analyse, and construct arguments are the most useful; history, English and RS are all good choices you’ve made. Other subjects such as Geography, Economics, Classics and Latin can also be useful, however, not necessarily any more useful than the ones you’ve already chosen. You’ve listed languages and generally academic subjects and providing you enjoy them there’s no reason to change them!
