Nick i love you. Its nice to hear that from a practical point of vue. My options i have taken at the moment is, Applied Science, Geography, Geography, and BTEC business. Now im seriously trying to drop geography at the moment. It seriously getting on my tits as the teachers are just a piece of crap. That severly narrows my options though. Ive been looking into being an engeneering geologist, which is close to what you do Nick. However after reading what you just wrote im worried now about my lack of maths (as i only did it at GCSE) and obviously geography. Decisions Decisions........... max
