OK,
I'm 20, and keeping it in a nutshell
I left school with 5 GCSE;s
Maths
Science (Dual Award)
Spanish
Graphic Products
I went to college on a BTEC National but dropped out near the end of year one to live with my partner
2 Years later I went back to the same college and they let me start at year 2 rather than doing year 1 all over again so i went back
Only to leave at round about the same time in year 2 for the same reasons, although I didnt get my BTEC national i did get a Level 2 City & Guild in IT & English which each in effect are a GCSE
So really I have no niche to an employer
I have worked in a computer shop since I was 12 and worked there for about 5 years
I went to colelge last week to try and roll on the BTEC National course again but im set back by money I can get course fees paid but with it being a full time course I only get £30 a week and to suppoer a family with 1 child on £30 pw is impossible
So to cut a long story short, Im regretting not completing the course as it doesnt make me shine on paper to an employer
I want to set up in business but I dont have the money - this shows in the current website I have, so my best piece of advice for any young person, at least go to college even if you intend to set up in business, that way if it fails you have something to fall back on - get it while its free - I know i certainly am living to regret it
