Dai the Socket Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 If you're going into a job at this age, your GCSE's are really really important.Seriously, if you want it pull you f**king finger out, work hard (not that hard work is even required for decent grades) and stop f**king about.If you want the qualifications you'll work, it's really as simple as that. I don't want a desk job, and I'm not going to get one but I know that I need a degree to get anyone to even think about hiring you for big money.

Token Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Get your GCSEs. Like other people have said, it's only a year and you NEED 5 A-Cs for just about any job that requires you to be more than a trained chimp. I'm not quite sure how anyone knows what they want to do aged 16, so you're limiting your options a bit by having no GCSEs.This guy speaks the truth!
