hi, ive just finished my a-levels and I'm not going to uni this sep. I have no idea what I will do during the year. I've applied to jobs but no reply. I don't just want to apply anywhere as I want to work somewhere where I can genuinely learn like an office, but being in a small town there aren't many options. I've been looking at small courses like Azure but I don't know if it's worth it. if someone can give me ideas on what career/ work I can pursue that pays well and is fun and where I can learn and grow. thanks

salary, what industry, etc
i'm sure you will find somewhere though
might want to share your cv with recruitment sites such as totaljobs as well

stem/science or IT, I think for most science/stem I need a uni degree but IT is more flexible. I just want to get busy and move ahead in life because currently I'm juts rotting away

perhaps a degree apprenticeship of some sort?
or potentially, take a gap year and reapply to uni?

Can you clarify - are you taking a gap year and plan to go to uni in Sep 2025?

Yes, levels were stressful and I want a break from education and find my passion but having a hard time finding something that's fun, where I can grow and learn and earn some money. Most places need work experience or a specific level 3 certificate which I do not have so its tricky in this economy
