Another Gap year ?

So I am currently on a gap year resitting my A levels and applied to some degree apprenticeships. I don't think I got them and the big problem I had was I missed alot of application deadlines as I wasn't sure which sector I was interested in until it was too late.
I have applied to uni and got offers but I personally don't feel like university is for me and I feel I want to apply to apprenticeships in the next application cycle but then I'm also scared of taking another gap year . I am already on one gap year to resit my a levels would taking another be really bad . I'm also nervous about what my family would think . I would appreciate some advice and guidance

it's not bad to take another gap year especially if you now know what you want. it's better to take time and know what's best for you, just do whats best for you and if that means taking a gap year then go for it

I want to take another Gap year and apply properly for degree apprenticeships but on the other hand I feel alot of pressure to go to university. I don't feel university is for me tbh it's more of a backup option but I don't want to use it yet. My family want me to start uni this year and apply for apprenticeships and if I get one drop out .

I mean if you're not going to enjoy uni is there much point going, you could defer your uni places (?) if you wanted them as back up next year but like do something that you're gonna enjoy

My heart is set on degree apprenticeships but I feel like two gap years is Really bad . I also feel pressure from my family to go to uni this year as they don't want me to do another Gap year

you could go to uni for a year and drop out, nothings stopping you doing that and you might end up wanting to stay but if you are you need to apply for finance (if you're doing that) soon because it closes in may. good luck on whatever you decide

But the thing is ATM I know I definitely don't want to go to uni just yet I want to have another good attempt at apprenticeship applications. I understand where my family are coming from but I don't want to go university and I don't wanna take a loan out just for me to drop out. I don't know how to tell them because they think if I take another year out I'm not gonna do anything with my life.

Hey this is slightly unrelated but did you tell the companies you applied to that you resat your a levels, and did you tell them your achieved grades then?

If you don't think university is for you then I don't think you should go, even if you're being pressured into going. It would just be a waste of money and time. If you think a degree apprenticeship is for you, then it's definitely worth pursuing.
What sector are you interested in a degree apprenticeship in? If you want, I can send you some resources to help you with getting into a degree apprenticeship next year. Just let me know, I'll be happy to oblige.

Hey, I actually ended up recieving an apprenticeship offer and have another interview for another next week . Do you have a YouTube channel your username seems very familiar.

I'm about to take my second gap year! I took a break and now I'm gonna resit my a levels, it took a lot out of me so I thought it would be better to take a year out then come back to it. If you feel that you need another gap year definitely do it! it's much better taking time out than rushing into something, even if everyone is moving on, you're on your own timeline!!! (people don't talk about this enough) don't take what your family says to heart, I was in the same boat but I knew that it was what was best for ME. I also think that you have been quite productive in the gap year (resitting a level) and it really wouldn't be a bad thing if you took another especially if it was to apply for apprenticeships.

alr 2nd gap year might be a bit crazy icl,

2 gap years isn't really much I've got a friend who has taken 6, a friend parent had taken 11 and is now a consultant. Plus i think its good to be productive in them which i have been, i would understand your point if i literally wasn't doing anything but I've been working and volunteering. there's no time stamps in life either really
