I don't know what to do after Year 13.

I'm going into Year 13 this September and I still have absolutely no clue whatsoever what I wanna do for uni or apprenticeship. Anytime I am interested in something, I get utterly put off of it within days. I don't know what to do. I want a job that's not too stressful, something that's not too repetitive. I do Maths, Physics and Psychology and I have no clue what I wanna do with them.

I think this is pretty normal some people have an idea about what they want to do but most don’t. I think you should see if you enjoy these subjects this year and if you do and get the right grades maybe take a look at something in these areas. No matter what you chose to do doesn’t define the rest of your life. Some people will chose to take a gap year to figure out what they want to do. Just know year 13 is young. You have the rest of your life to decide and you’ll eventually figure out something!

Hi, I'm at uni (going into second year, undergrad) and just wanted to say loads of people felt like that about their future plans at sixth form but don't panic about circling through different ideas and getting put off them. Just stay calm (I know it's easier said than done!) and explore all different options, you've got fantastic A-levels which will open up a huge variety of employment and study opportunities for you. You may pick something and then switch to find the right thing later- you don't have to pick the perfect thing at 18.
Just my personal recommendation based on my experiences so far, would be to go to university- whether you take a gap year first or not- as you can test the subject you have picked and have summers/holidays to test out potential career paths with internships/work experience/volunteering. At uni so far I have tried a few things out which I wouldn't have imagined I would enjoy job-wise. However of course this is just a suggestion, if you find an apprenticeship/job you want now go for it!
Good luck, hope my ramble helped

It sounds like you need a gap year to earn some money and maybe try to get work experience/shadowing at a few different places you might be interested in.

Personally if I were you I would get an apprenticeship in anything you’re vaguely interested in. Interested in IT, get an IT apprenticeship, interested in law, get a law apprenticeship etc.

This will give you money for university and gain you a full time job if you decide you don’t be want to go. Make sure you do an apprenticeship that’s 12 months as opposed to a 18 month apprenticeship though!

You could take a gap year, but make sure you have something planned such as work experience. A lot of companies have year-long placements for gap year students that open for applications around this time (most close before January so apply early) so you could start looking at those if you’re not 100% sure about what you want to study at uni or if you want to go at all. I recommend Studentladder as they advertise a lot of placements. Good luck!

Oh that sounds great!! Thank you

Apply for your local FE college and they should be able to put you in touch with some companies and act as a recruitment agency, unless you live in the middle of nowhere you should be able to get one pretty easily

Thanks so much!
