Question: why didnt you do a-levels

Personally for me, I found that with an apprenticeship, the idea of getting paid for my education and also getting full on work experience seemed best to me. However, with A-levels, I would struggle with money and I feel like I would have to much time on my hands! Which sounds weird but I love doing things and getting as much experience as I can! And then A-levels would of brought me to University where I would have to pay a massive debt!! So with my apprenticeship, they pay for me to study and they’ll also pay me to go to University if I work hard enough! So all that seemed like a big upside to me! It also gave me the amazing opportunity to become fully independent in life ( luckily with the support of my mum ). I moved out when I was 16 to have a full time job in the area of work that I have wanted to do! And with my apprenticeship paying me, I was very lucky to rent in a room share and I was able to pay for all my driving lessons and pay for a life really. And the education with the apprenticeship is amazing! So it’s all a win-win situation:D
