As the appalling spelling and grammar of this thread goes to show, education is like totally dumbed down these days. A couple of grade B A-levels are going to get you precisely nowhere. Neither is the horrendously expensive 3 year degree in Pointlessness at Sheffield.

Do not persist with education whilst unfocussed and immature.

What you, I, or anybody else understands at your age is that you are still a caterpillar until your late twenties.

You may think you have a plan for your future. What you're suited to. What you aspire. You don't. It will change.

Your innate qualities might lend themselves to commercial pilot. They may not. To throw money at it now is unwise. You won't do anywhere near as well per £ as you will do if you spend the same £ in your late 20's. It seems a long way away but it really isn't.


Young people are routinely separated from £ by flying schools by means of airline pilot imagery.


My advice for now.


Well.


Be young, bugger off out of the recession riddled West, go to Thailand, South America, wherever, have a lifetime of amazing experiences whilst it doesn't matter then come back.

At the moment you're unemployable.

For any job.
