Hi, with the whether-or-not-to-do-psych thing, the university course could be very different from the A level course, so make sure you check what they do. Also different unis might have different courses, so if you prefer the theoretical side, you might be able to find a uni that does more of that.
If not though, it might be an idea to do something else...you don't want to end up bored for however many years you'll be at uni! Although if you did end up bored, you might be able to change courses anyway, so don't get too worked up. Obviously it's better to get it right first time, but it's not the end of the world if you don't!
It's probably harder to find a different course if you don't really have any idea what you want to do, but you could maybe try going through one of the books which has all the various courses in and find the ones that you could get into with your A levels and see if any of them look interesting.
As for what to put in with your jobs and things, try and think of what skills you learnt, like being organised, reliable, responsible, teamwork, communication with different people, gaining confidence and stuff like that. I don't know really, but I think that's the sort of thing to put! Get a wide range if you can.
Hope this helps a bit!
