My life is ruined isn't it?

I left school at 15/16 with no GCSE's and I haven't done too badly for myself

There will have been people at your school (e.g. your head of year, a guidance tutor, and/or a university/career adviser) that should be able to help you. When I dropped out of school I was hounded by an adviser affiliated with the school, and after five months eventually went to pay him a visit at his office in my local library and he helped me apply to a college where I could resit my qualifications. *

Fast forward six years and a degree later, and I've decided to change the route I want to follow from the creative industries to the sciences. But I have no relative qualifications whatsoever as my subject choices had been tailored to applying to degrees related to the creative industries. The first thing I did was contact an undergraduate advisor at the university I am aiming for to see if my goals were reasonable, and he talked me through my best options on how to work my way up to being considered as an applicant. Then I contacted several colleges, explaining what he had told me and applying to courses of various levels, and finally at the fourth college I was offered a place.

So talk to people. Contact educators and advisors and work out the best route you can take to get to where it is you want to go. It is part of there job to advise and help you and, as you will see from the above, it has definitely helped me a lot and is what has gotten me on the path I want to take..

I can't do A levels, can't go to Uni, failed GCSEs only passed 3.

Now what am I supposed to do? I have no idea what to do next...
Please advise what's best to do now I'm so sad and confused

I don't understand how you can apparently care about your GCSEs, and understand the consequences of ending up with your set of results, and still only pass three.

Of course I didn't say I am going to get 3 GCSEs. It just happened.

Look mate it all depends on what career you want to persue.. I passed none all I got were Ds I can honestly say its made zero difference in my life. If you aim to be a dr then yes it will hinder you, if not then it makes no difference. I dont even mention GCSEs on my cv anymore Im in my mid 20s and they just dont matter. I still went to uni and dropped out, yet still have a career.. I will admit though a degree is worth getting.
