I'm in the same boat as you matey! I'm 17, In my second year of sixthform, doing my Alevels, (and GCSE english!) I have no drive to carry on with sixth form, well I do. But I only want to do tech. It's what I really like doing. I'm making a thing for my bike. So I enjoy doing that. Im doing Technology at Alevel. Applied business, and applied science at as level. I don't mind business studies. It's science that I hate, its all chemistary crap that were doing njow. But my form tutor sed it would help me with my tech work I don't see my self going to uni. I'm a C/D grade student. When/ if I do finish 6th form I'll probably end up just being at halfords full time, I'd like to move out of Cumbria, just because I don't like it. only thing thats keeping me if family. My mum is the kind of person that always put me done. When I got my GCSE i got mainly c/d 1st tgings she says. "if you just tried a bit harder" I just walkede out the house and didnt go back for about 3 days! I'm going to look for a job/apprentaship next year. somet thing like carpenter / engineer something like that. Move away and opefully start working for m self maybe? Maybe move to Oz or America and do what ever over there! WHat I say is. find something you like, I can't see myself sticking in at sixth form for much longer. but lets see how things go!
