Guest Abi&Dan Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 have you thought about enrolling in a community college to do the Oz equivalent of the GCSE or some other vocational style course? Think about it from the point of view of UK - you'd definitely struggle to get an office job without at least A-C GCSE in English and Maths at your age and I reckon you'll find the same issue in Oz. Alternatively try the TAFE for a young person's apprentiship - you say you don't want to get dirty (!) but you might find you like the outdoors life and cameradery working in a trade. Hope you get started in something you like :spinny: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samozsoon Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Hi Josh You sound really confused about what to do. My daughter will be 16 in July and will do her GCSE's this yr then we will move to oz. Once we are there she will go back to school in Jan 2008 for one yr to complete her oz high school cert. This will allow her to go on to further education such as uni, or if she wanted to get a job she would be in a better position to get one. It will also mean she will make friends and settle in easier. If you are in oz already I'm sure you could return to school no problem. If that doesnt appeal to you then I would definately look at going to Tafe to do a course in something you think you will enjoy. If you want to work in an office , have you thought about I.T., or business studies. I'm sure if you contacted them they would be able to help even if you arent there yet, as I've done this for my oldest son. Good Luck.
