Right, I'm in the middle of doing my GCSE's, and I really dont know what I want to do after them. I was quite close to sorting out an apprenticeship as an electrician as some of you may know, but I then decided I didn't want to do that. Tomorrow I have a test about bricklaying that I need to pass if I want to have an apprenticeship in that. But i'm still unsure of what I actually want to do. I dont know weather to do 6th form, go to college or get an apprenticesip, but I do need the money. Help  |

depends whether you enjoy being in education or not, if you're not the type of person who doesn't suit classroom based learning then better to do on-the-job training. if you're happy in a classroom then stick in college and get something useful - not basket weaving or psychology or whatever they call it these days.
or just fuck around for a few years until you absolutely have to get a job.

Do your best in your GSCE's for now. When they've finished take a few weeks to think about it and go to the local park and get pissed on cheap cider with your friends. If you don't want to do the brick laying apprenticeship after thinking about it then don't do it. Enrol on some courses at college in things your interested in and see where that takes you.
You're obviously young if you're doing GCSE's, you're nowhere near needing some sort of career path yet.

I'd at least give a-levels a bash.

Don't do an apprenticeship for the money...do it to learn a skill that you will use for life. If you fancy college, part time jobs are easy enough to fit around it, just for the money.
Good thing about 6th form/college is that you can always change what you do if you don't get on well with a subject, something harder to do with an apprenticeship I'd imagine. I know a few people that have done apprenticeships and got themselves sorted out in terms of a career path and a decent pay packet once they completed it.

I was doing quite well and I was predicted good grades. But by the look of things i'm not going to get many GCSE's, which makes things harder....... |

I hated school. College was miles better - meet new people, get to go out and get pissed, perv on fit girls in the refectory, plus lots of free time to go and drink cider like Ben did.
Never too late to do ok in your GCSEs, work hard on some revision and you can bump your grades up fairly quickly.

No-one is ever going to give a shit about any grades you get in GCSE as long as they are higher than a C. And even then it's only Maths, English and things related to anything you might want to do at A Level.
Actually Oxford/Cambridge might, but fuck that.
