Hi guys,
My views: I agree about doing the A levels you are good at and like. I have just got on to CTC (yay!) and my A levels were English lit, History, Geogrpahy and AS Theology: hardly relevant!
I then did a degree in War Studies, again, not quite so relevant.
However, I firmly believe that if I had not gone to uni I would not have been accepted for training. This is because when I left school I did not have enough life experience. The most important things I got from uni were experiences like living out, having to take care of my self, developing social skills and doing things like OTC (eyesight not good enough for UAS).
Many people may not need to go to uni to develop these skills but I feel I did and if anyone is reminded of themselves by what I have written I would advise them to go to uni. And by the way, it's a lot of fun!
