Hi guys,

I just wanted to know if I would have any chance at getting an apprenticeship based on my personal info and background.

I am 21. I come from abroad but have A-level equivalent. I am in my second year of an aero engineering degree and working as work experience at a respected aerospace company. However, I hate the degree as it is only maths and calculations and I have grown to hate them with passion so I might fail my resits this year as I have no motivation to finish my degree whatsoever. I will give it a try so that my employer doesnt kick me out of my 1 year work experience but in case I fail my studies will be terminated and most probably my employer will terminate my work experience too. So in that case my best bet would be aircraft apprenticeship I think as I cannot possibly go back to academics and the hands on work would be great - I love my work right now. I am currently working on producing maintenance programmes so have some good background but I am 21 so a bit old and mixed academics (they would look rather poor with terminated degree studies) so far so I just want some input from experienced guys on what my chances would be of landing an apprenceship (getting to an interview, I am pretty confident I will do well afterwards). Thank you
