16 and unsure

I have been doing various apprenticeships based in an office and have quickly come to terms that it is not for me and I am looking to go to college next year. The only problem is I am unsure of what to study. I have a C in maths, a D in English Language (I would retake it in college), a D* in Business, Merit in Health and social, I got a D in Science, ICT and french however I got a C in English Lit. Can anyone help me weigh up my options? Any courses I should avoid that I may be considering? Please help
Id like to ask a few questions before I reply to your thread.
Do you plan on going to university? if so, possibly what for?
If you don't go to university, do you have any possible plans for post-college?
what do you enjoy and what subjects inspire you?

It's always difficult to advise on certain subjects because my interests and what I enjoy and hope to do with my course may be completely different to you.However, my advice to anyone picking a college course or A levels is to look at what you enjoy and have enjoyed in the past and what you might want to do with your course.

Have you spoken to colleges/sixth forms near you? This should begin to give you an idea of subjects you are able to do, and that may help narrow your choices down.
