Hi there,
I applied to my favourite uni and got turned down for the course, however I still want to try becoming a teacher. Preferably secondary school, but primary is okay too.
I was looking at apprenticeships and was talking to my sixth form tutor, who advised that a proper job would pay better. However I also heard that apprenticeships give a student bank, where as if i worked a proper teaching assistant job i wouldn't get one?
Is there anymore pros and cons or apprenticeship and a proper teaching assistant job i should know about?
Thank you!

The apprenticeship route gains you both experience and qualifications simultaneously, so at your age, I imagine the apprenticeship route is a lot more realistic. If you could gain a full TA job, then it would definitely pay better than apprenticeship wages but it would be tricky to walk into a TA job without any prior experience or qualifications.
And I have no idea about banks, but apprentices are students (you spend time out of class at college or remote learning) so would be eligible for a student account whereas being a TA is a job, so you wouldn't be a student.

If you are wanting to become a teacher, you will need an undergraduate degree. For secondary, you will want a degree that links to the subject you wish to teach. So, it would be best to take a route that is going to get you an undergraduate degree sooner rather than later - you can't become a teacher by being a teaching assistant first if you don't have a degree.

It sounds like you are currently in sixth form, am I right?
