Choice which decides future job, HELP!?

I think you should choose your program according to your main areas of interest and not worry too much about where you'll be working, because it's easier to get higher grades when you're doing things you like, and easier to get a job if you're confident and like what you're doing. You can't move abroad until you're 18 anyway, so you might as well enjoy those three years as much as possible. Having hands-on skills such as movie making is easier to sell on the job market than so many points of Geography, History or Maths.. .Ideally, you should get some work experience in Sweden in your chosen field before going abroad, or at least have some projects of yours to show any would-be employer.

Alternatively, you might want to look into the social sciences program (Samhäll) with media focus. Make sure to include lots of English, find a school with an exchange program where you do some of the time in the UK, or alternatively take a term or two of English at Uni, anything to learn better English than the average Swede! See below for examples.

Working in the UK is generally harder than in Sweden, so you can expect less pay, less holidays etc, but if you're desperate, just go to London (where most of the job opportunities are), find yourself any menial job (hotels/restaurants etc), be prepared to work hard and be poor for a while, and look/ask around at local employment agencies, job centres, appropriate companies, knock on doors, and in the meantime, enjoy being in London! Who knows what you'll find when you put your mind to it? You won't find your dream job straight away, and you will definitely not find it from Sweden!
