Should I stay on for my A-Levels?

If you want to go to uni, it's best to stay on and do A-levels. However, you could find a job after GCSE, but I'm not sure what kind of jobs you would get.

You have to pay to do A-levels?

I'm not sure at the moment if I want to go to uni, but if I stay on and I want to I have the chance to.
My parents have to pay for my GCSE’s too. I’m at a private college so it’s expensive. Everything has to be paid for; teachers, books, paper and even the exams you take at the end of the year as well to get the qualifications !!! My parents have said that they can find the money if I want to stay on. I just feel guilty because I want to stay on so much but it’s so much money for them to pay out.

have you ever thought about maybe going to a comprehensive or grammar school to do your A levels? I would strongly suggest going to uni, it will make your life so much easier in the long run. On the other hand, you need to be aware of student debt.

You sound like an intelligent person so I would advise you to do A-Levels and then go to university. There are some good non graduate jobs available but these are generally rare and having a good degree from a reputable university under your belt will generally make your life much easier and help you to fulfill any ambitions you might eventually have.
I'd advise you to either:
(1)Go to the private one, stop worrying and work hard, thus ensuring it's money well spent.
OR:
(2)Go to an institution where you don't have to pay but remember that you'll have to be able to motivate yourself a lot more as the teaching won't be as good and some people there might not really want to learn.

Well maybe you can stay on at your college if your happy their and negotiate a way of paying back your parents over several years. Your parents will want the best for you and wouldnt have offered the money if they didnt mean it. Maybe paying it back in 5 years time may make you feel a bit better for staying on.

You should aim to get some a-levels as they will benefit you and dont worry too much about uni now. You can decide once you've done your alevels.

Yeah that sounds like a good idea too . I should pay them back for paying for my education. It may take longer than five years but they should get the money back as they do and will need it. Thank you frost105 for that .

Does your school offer scholarships or bursaries?

My college does offer scholarships. I only found this out as the head teacher told my boyfriend that he should apply for one. There's no way I could apply for one though as it is too late to and I don't think they offer bursaries so that isn't a option really.

Go to a good comprehensive. If you are a geniunely motivated and intelligent student, there is no reason why you should not achieve the same things there as you would have done at your private school. Ive got tons of friends who are at my comprehensive attaining straight A's at A-level.
