After I finish my GCSEs, what should I do after? College or sixth form? What happens after that?

The difference between a college and sixth form is that a sixth form is with a secondary school and only teaches further education to students upto the age of 18. A college will usually offer further education to any age. Every sixth form and college has different standards with respect to entry. For example, to pursue Maths you may be required to have an 8 in the subject at GCSE. So itβs for you to find out. You can do A-levels or BTEC qualifications to get into university or you can avoid those paths altogether and instead use your GCSEs to go directly into work or get yourself an Apprenticeship. The world is your oyster.

CAREER ADVICE π¨βπAfter I finish my education, I want to do a creative job which makes me happy. How can I get my parents to approve it when they say its not a 'real' job, 'you're not going to get paid well' or 'youll end up living on the streets if you keep thinking like that'? I know they want me to get a good job but after my GCSEs, I dont want to pick courses I hate or would rather not do. I am only considering them for the sake of my parents. Finance has always been a part in my life and I dont want to be proven wrong by my parents in the future and nor do I want to get stuck doing something I hate. I dont need an answer right away but I want to know so that I can relate back to this when I'm stuck in the future?
