Whatever you do don't base your choice solely on what you've studied at A-level or what you think will get you a well-paid career.
Choose something you are interested in and will hopefully enjoy. It may be that the subject you enjoy is what you studied at A-level and does indeed get you a good career - in which case great! You're very lucky.
I studied maths, physics and computing at A-level, because I could, not because I wanted to. I was always good at technical, mathematical subjects and so got pushed into it a bit. Even though I was also good at art and writing essays...which I enjoyed more, but which didn't lead to as "good" careers...
So I chose engineering.
And hated every minute of it.
