So I asked a question yesterday about revising today I have another question.

My main best subjects is business and maths. My dream is to become a CEO and hopefully someday I will fulfill that dream but obviously I need to decide on something for after secondary school, I think I will get some C's and most B's so what should I do. Go to college and study A levels for Maths, Business and Coding or get an apprenticeship for either marketing/finance manager or accountant?

I'm doing a carpenters apprenticeship, and the way mine is set up is after my 4 years I can go to the college and take a couple classes to get some sort of degree in something. Of course I can't get an under grad in law, but I would look into the apprenticeship that you want and see what kind of other options post-apprenticeship there are. Apprenticeships can be free (mine is) so it's pretty much a free degree too.

Dab- wrote the best way would be to do college then a apprenticeship as you can get a NVQ awards, for me in carpentry it goes

6th form > Get a Level 2 diploma > Apprenticeship > NVQ award. And this allows me to do practically anything in the joiner world.


I'm doing the exact same as you but with electrical installations, I'm doing 1 year in college which gets me my level 2 qualification then getting an apprenticeship after the first year.

To original poster-Personally I would go with an apprenticeship but they are hard to get where I am. But it's up to you bro it's your life do what our want to do and what you will enjoy the most!
