What degree would you rather do if any? You can get a course through clearing possibly for September?

Do something you enjoy the most regardless of what it is then. If you enjoy it it’ll come more natural, and you will still get a degree out of it to please your dad. Maybe do something like Philosophy, Politics and Economics combined degree? Or an art based degree? Human geography?

If not, why not look for an apprenticeship so you can learn on the job in a law firm or with BP? Or somewhere else that may entice you. Good money.

I think those are possibly bad courses for someone who is sick of learning and school. But this is the issue. Uni is learning and schooling.
What do you not like about what you’re doing?
