Hi Guys,
This is my first post so go easy :P
Basically I'm just going in to year 11 and at the end of this year I will have to choose to go to 6th form or do an apprenticeship. I am likely to get 11 A* to C GCSE's but I'm not sure about a levels. I have read some other posts on here about this topic and it seems that employers are looking for experience. I don't think I want to go to uni and if I did I'd like to go later on in life doing something for fun. I would like to take an apprenticeship in London, (1hr commute on train) if the right opportunity in a creative/digital ad agency came up. I have skills with photoshop, final cut pro, illustrator etc. and have been doing freelance work since the age of about 13. Do you think this would help me get a job in such a competitive field and is it worth taking the risk of apprenticeship vs a levels. Also is it worth emailing companies offering apprenticeships this academic year and asking if they'll be doing them next year?
Thanks a lot,
Dylan
