I would stay on in education mate, its something I wish I did. I left school 10 years ago and spent the first half a year doing odd jobs and getting mashed. Then I went on and started full time work, it seemed great at first but I soon came to realise that I should have stayed on in education as mates all started to buy very nice cars and then their own houses. I can only dream of affording this,

However you can get somewhere without education but its not recommended or easy, I know someone who started off on a factory line with no qualifications and now they are raking it in as a manager very high up in a big company.

It has taken me a long time to get a job that I really want to do that will actually get me somewhere good, but that was just a lucky break really
