It depends what you want to do, you can allways be an apprentice.

[CHA!NGANG]

Yes what Jack said. If you have good GCSE results, then you should be OK. However, if you don't then, it might be tricky to get a job without A-Levels.

[L?KE]

Yeah if you are aiming for a high paid job, then a-levels would almost certainly be necessary.

As said it all depends on what you want to do.

After you finish your GCSEs you get quite a long break anyway and you can do college courses and that at any time, you don't have to go straight away. Just it might be easier to get it over and done with .

If you went to college it is genrally a lot more relaxed and depending on the amount of courses you do you get a lot more free time. It's a bit more "schooly" in 6th forms though.

Just do what you want to do though, there's no point forcing yourself through college and not enjoying it. You can still get a good job just you are a lot more limited in what you can do in the future.

It depends on what you want to do, don't be forced into doing something when you could be getting a job etc.
Although college is very different than school, you are seen as more independent and its very relaxed.
Give it a go, you could always drop out after a month or so.

Loads of jobs don't need A levels. Most of our parents generation didn't get them, they got jobs OK.

In my eyes, getting jobs is down to personality and not grades.

Well, depends what kind of job you want to do. But if you want a job and someone has A-Levels and has a great persoanlity, they're going to be pickled over someone that hasn't.

You should stay and get a-levels,
yet as everyone has said it depends what you want to do in life, yet if you have a-levels it will be an advantage when getting a job anyway.

well i'm ,expected A's in all subjects (tho I probs won't get an A in all) in total over the 2 years you can achieve 9 GCSES so yeah.

As long as I get through life with a bit of money i really don't care what job I do as long as it's not like sweeping the floors of london etctec
