Either way, I'd rather be a secondary school teacher. Primary is at my mothers insistance.
I'm doing BTEC business, and A Level RS, Biology and General studies. Probably looking to get Grade 8 music theory and performing by the end of next year.
Thanks to my school only offering me those, completely unrelated subjects there is no logical career progression for me.

Utterly inhumane.

let's go back to grants and paid tuition fees. That's the only way forward.

£32k combined income with his missus, he meant, I think?
For the record I got AAABBBCCCD in my GCSE's.
English literature A
Maths A
Biology A
Physics B
Chemistry B
English Language B
RS C
Geography C
Music C (it's a long story, but it doesn't represent the actual quality of my work)
German D
The english lit A level was oversubscribed so I was denied access to that. I tried maths for all of 2 weeks before moving to RS.
I'm doing Biology
Physics was my 1st choice A level, but just missed out on the A that I required to do it.
Chemistry was never going to be a viable choice for me at A level.
English Language is not offered at my school.
I'm doing RS.
Geography, I was on course for an A until I completely flunked one of the exams as I had been up for 48 hours beforehand and I completed the whole paper when I only had to do half. I didn't get the essay questions written down.
Music, was all classically focused. As is the A level.
I did a foundation German paper, and the listening parer was conducted in such a manner as I couldn't actually hear the tape.
I am familiar with the student loans system and how you only have to pay it back if you earn more than 21k a year (Seriously?! if you live in london, you need every penny of that you can get) and I am sick and tired of the "Some people will never pay it back" excuse because it's FUCKING BOLLOCKS. The only way you can earn less than 21k a year for the 30 or so years it takes them to write the debt off is if you basically live off benefits or similar, cash in hand/zero hours/ minimum wage jobs for 30 years. Which is fairly uncommon if you are a graduate.
Cameron promises to create 3 million new apprenticeships for young learners, these apprenticeships either don't pay, or pay £2 an hour odd. He's hiding unemployment AGAIN.

If I got a 1st in a MT degree, along with my BTEC Business, maybe I could go into a British music company such as Marshall, Orange or Laney? Work as a product rep for them pulling in maybe 19/20k a year doing the whole NAMM/Musikmesse thing? I know Laney are based in Sheffield, I love it there.

I'm not arguing that apprenticeships are worthless, I'm saying cameron is using them to hide his problems, regardless of whether they are actually the right thing for you.
I think you can actually get a grant paying for a primary education degree if you go into primary education afterwards that's separate to a student loan.
Aye, and that's partly the reason Sussex uni is my current 1st choice. I could hopefully get a job at GAK and work from there. A combined Music tech degree, alongside experience in music retail would look great!
My school does have independent advice, however they're "one of the top grammar sixth forms in the country" so all the careers advice is from someone who they have approved due to her shared desire to push us to do "pure" subjects at oxbridge.
