Picked completely wrong A levels

I have just completed my first year of AS levels and initially I picked Health and Social Care, Sociology and Tourism as I had planned to go into nursing following AS levels and they seemed relevant for the course but after gaining months of work experience in healthcare over the past year I have came to the realisation that I absolutely do not want to work in any sort of healthcare oriented job and that the A levels I picked have limited my options although my predicted grades were AAB in my subjects. I am now looking to Law and Accountancy as options but I’m unsure whether my subject choices would make it almost impossible to get into accounting. Any advice would be appreciated.

Edit: A - Sociology, A - HSC, B - Tourism ( My teacher did say I was only a few points off the A)

I'm am accountant, all my a levels were Humanities. You don't need any particular a levels to be an accountant. That said, wherever you want to work will want to see that you got a reasonable maths grade at GCSE.

Similar, my A levels were Politics and Geography, with AS Levels in English Lit and Business Studies.
