Need career help...

I had my academic future all planned out but as many expect, it never stays to plan. I had studied hard during college getting an A*AA and went onto studying econ at a Russel Group University however dropped out after a few months as it wasn't for me.

I have now been trying to get an AAT apprenticeship but live in a small village so opportunities don't arise very often. I've had 2 interviews in the couple months I've been back home but been rejected both times. It doesn't help the pressure from my family and parents trying to push me to get a job ASAP.

I'm unsure on what to do with as a career from this point, i need help... i just feel stuck.

Getting work in a village isn't exactly easy. Have you considered relocating to a town or city?

With your A Levels, you are more than OK to go straight into a junior accounting role as opposed to just doing an AAT. Have you thought about which type of accountant you want to be?

As I don't know what sort of career you want, it's kind of difficult to advise. Typically people with A Levels can go into 600+ different types of careers, so it's kind of difficult to narrow things down unless you specify things like:

•

What your values are

•

What you don't want in a job

•

What you need to do on a daily basis in a job
