    Help - Career + Study Advice
    Hi guys,

    I've run into a steady wall. I used to study the IB program, until I was kicked out after completing the MYP program. I now have nowhere to go. I enrolled in a BTEC program, but I have heard many doubts about the program and future career/university choice should I choose to study in BTEC. I would like to know more about BTEC, how it's standings are, and if there are any other alternative routes for me to try. If I choose not to enroll in BTEC, I have thought of other options, A) Finding a full time job and studying for GSCE/A Levels at night, B) Studying IVE C)Finding a full time job.
    My dream is to edit films, become a video editor. My parent is very against this though, as the film industry is filled with people of all sorts.

    I live in Hong Kong, and this is where I study at. I also have an Australian Passport, so Australia is a viable location to study/work at.


    Can anyone provide any tips please?
    Again, sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, ANY advice is a BIG THANK YOU to you!

    Dude, just apply to another college or school. If you drop out of education you WILL regret it forever. BTECs aren't great really.
