Dropping out after Year 12... The right choice?

I have been offered a job as head of video and aerial photography by a new media agency.

I have also hated my A-Levels since September - Maths, Phys and CS is no joke, lol... and this feels like a good opportunity to get out of them whilst also working in what I enjoy.

In my mind, if I don't plan on going to university, this is a far better opportunity for me than my full A-Levels, and opens many more doors for me.

What do y'all think?

Sidenote - would it be disingenuous to put the year of college on my CV anyway, if I don't sit the actual AS exams?

If it's what you want to do then go for it. If you decide in the future that you do want to go to uni, you could take a one-year Access to HE diploma course that is the equivalent of three A levels.
