What is ICT? What careers are out there?

GCSE Graphics or Double ICT?

• Which one is better for GCSE and which one does colleges like more? I like both and in Graphics, we make packages and for double ICT, we do business docs, databases, multimedia and a lot of stuff. A lot of print screens and typing in ICT and drawings and making in Graphics. Which course is more helpful and useful for college and jobs? I am good at ICT but I get annoyed with the fact that it needs to be perfect and the print screens. I like ICT but I also like Animations a lot which is associated with Graphics but they don't do it in schools. I am OK at drawing but can design on computer. Is getting a GCSE in DT and one in ICT better than two in ICT? What do you do in double ICT which you don't do in Single ICT? One of the main thing is that if I take Graphics then I will get a GCSE in a different subject but Double ICT is considered at two GCSEs. Is that a big deal for college and everything? I am losing my DT, is that a problem? Is GCSE ICT in schools same as colleges? Please help me make my decision and give your own opinions.
