I really don't know what to do. I'm sitting my GCSE's atm but after that i'm clueless.. I don't know if i want to go to college because there is nothing that really interests me. Theres not much i can say apart from.. someone give me a miracle? Please.. :|

Help?? :S

If you dont know what you want to do yet, why dont you stay on and do A levels, that way you have more time to decide.

[Boothy]

Have you looked at apprenticeships? They're a good option if you don't like academic subjects.

[Jessica.]

Do your A levels...

[Lucy.]

See, I was in your position and thought staying on for A Levels would be a good plan however now 2 years later I am once again clueless + I now feel like I've wasted two years doing extra work for no point. I'm not saying it doesn't work, for most people it probably does, just be wary.

Apprenticeships are always a good option, little more taster into things.

[Loukas]

I don't enjoy ANY SUBJECTS. So i feel i will be wasting my time and i don't want to do subjects i don't like..

[bansheewails]

What are your hobbies then? Try and find something you like, then find a why to earn a living from it. You dont want to spend 40 yrs in a job you hate!

Leave school and get a job.




PS. It's "Advice Needed"

See. I fail. I fail at alot of things.

[lily.]

You won't fail at everything though.

Get careers advice, and leave school and work. That's what I did after my exams. I was 16.

What do you do now??

[lily.]

Apparently I fail at not double posting though.

[Stacey.]

i've talked to people about this too. but i don't want to go to college or anything like that because i'm just not clever enough to get a really good job.

and a few i've spoken to are at college and yet they still don't know what they want to do. so i'd be worried that i'd be like that too. then it's like wasting a couple of years tbh, when you could have gone and got a job already.

Now, I'm a full-time mum, but before that I was an office administrator. I got my HND through my employer, while still working full-time and getting a wage.

[Beastie]

I am sure Mcdonalds will be recruiting! lol

But anyways... come on.. surely you have an interest.. and then try and pursue in that.

In this day and age it is not easy just to get a job! especially for a 16/17 year old.

Just look at college, prospectuses and have a gander what range of courses are on offer. A levels, apprentices, diplomas, the works!

If you live in Bridge End.. yes!

[Nicky.]

Aye, I was just going to suggest... why don't you do a National Diploma or something? I am either doing my a levels, or a national diploma in backstage theatre.... which is something I enjoy... you could see if there are any that take your fancy? xxx

I disagree.

Especially for a boy. There are a load of apprenticeships out there which favour hiring males.

Are you interested in getting a trade Loukas..? (Mechanic, Plumber, Electrician, Joiner, for example).

Sooo wrong!

I live like, 200 yards from Airbus - in which has thousands and thousands of people working there. Each year they allow 150 new apprentices to join, normally about 400 apply. This year they've had 3000+.... they're getting harder to get!

Wait how old are you?



Anyway..

Having a job is better.

Last year it was, my mate tried all the time and couldnt find anything, its only because the industry has started picking up again that he found one last month.


As for loukas, from what ive seen and no offence intended, but i dont think he would want to do that/ fit in on site.

I went to sixth form for a year and a bit..... decided to leave.. got random jobs but nothing permanent seeing as though I was only 17. Went back to college to do a Diploma in Travel and Tourism.. left and luckily I am in a job I am content in. Eventhough my hours have been cut at the moment! I would have gone to uni if I didn't have a job.. but it would have been for the sake of it.
