18 and a complete failure. I failed GCSEs getting grades D - U but mostly Us, I did get accepted into college but had to do a very low level course at entry level 3 below GCSE level, I done animal care and functional skills in English and maths.
However, due to other issues after I left and decided to take a few months out after I completed the course and got the certificates/qualifications. I got a Christmas temp job then another job doing cat sitting which in still doing now while back in college doing functional skills level 1 English and maths. I'm trying to look into apprenticeships in animal care as that's a dream job however I can't really find any in my area my the other option is photography or maybe even business admin but animal care is at the too of the list.
I'm worried without GCSEs I'm not going anywhere in life I mean even with functional skills what can you do? I really want a car but worried I'm never going to afford one or get a decent job with pay not being too bad, I want to travel the UK and public transport is expensive. Everyone around me is successful in their own way, jobs, apprenticeships, not bad money coming in, cars, family... my friend too had bad grades and is now in an apprenticeship and has level 2 functional skills but I can't help think that'll never be me. What do I do?
