Am i making a big mistake?

i dunno about the u.k., but here in the u.s., although you can certainly start thinking about a career when youre 17, you don't really have to until way later. i'm already in a university and almost done with my first year and i have no idea what i want to be.

Yeah, I know what you mean mate but dont you feel like that you should know? because i feel that i really need to know what im doing.

Yeh I think you should go back, Try get a couple of GCSE's And get a good job

Lol im not Really fit, otherwise i would.



Hmm its a big decision to make, as if i do go to collage (which is probably for the best dont get me wrong) but then il be llke really old.

The army doesnt require ''Army'' Fitness straight away, you only need to be able to do 44 press up's in like two minutes.

You get army fit from been in the army, not from been a civi

You don't have to necessarily know. I'm half way through my first year at Uni (only got 2 months till I'm no longer a newbie ) and I have just changed my course. I originally wanted to be a teacher but now I've changed so got no idea what I want to do when I graduate.

We can only offer you advice but the biggest decision is down to you. Write down your priorities and go and speak to someone. Don't be worried about feeling old, one of my best friends at uni is around 40 years old as he is a laugh

Most people in this thread have covered good options, I would certainly think about the army, armed forces in your case however as you have said airport security may be something you want to go into, I'd look into it and try and get a career in that before you decide on anything further.

Hope I helped,
Adam.

You seem very reluctant to go back into education and that makes me think as if it just isnt for you, so if i were you i would get out there getting as much experience as you can whilst the recession is going on as they will be needing as much help as they can get and it will be valuable for you
and when things start to look brighter then start jobhunting

The army, the RAF regiment or the royal marines. do it or fail at life.
