Right, about your public services thing. Im in the SCC, and i am being given the opportunity to get a btec in public services with cadets? If your in a cadet force, ask about that. Careerwize. Model, go for it. Get some pictures taken, send them off to some places. See what they have to say. If you get any critisizm, take it on board and try and make it. Lifeguarding, surely you can get a job in a pool? Im sure that will cater all year round? I am also currently in a dilema, Im 17, i should be on my last year of A levels, but as i had to retake english, i have only just started my AS levels. Im sick of school and find it positively horrible. Im going to see about joining the marines, but they may tell me that if i stayed on another year, got alevels, that i would be able to go in as an officer, and get payed more. But if i do this, i might aswell goto university as everyone says uni is awesome! , i hate trying to figure out what i need todowith my life it sucks
