My future!

[kezia_88]

I'm in my last year at scholl and i'm going through that time where there is loads of pressure on me to get good results and start thinking about future education!!!So....my options are 6th form/college/sports college I want to be a sports psychologist so if I went 6th form I would take pe, psychology, business studies, English lit and lang. Here I will get my a level. If I went college I can do the sports psychology course with an a level but it's only one a level alongside. If I go to the sports college to do the sports psychology course then it will be only to do that course which then will be bad if i dont want to do the course nomore because I have nowhere else to go.

So where do i go what to i do????????

I think you need to phone up the sports psychology course you need to do for your career- ie- a university or degree level, and ask them what qualifications you need to get on their course and get qualified. They will either tell you that they prefer you to have A Levels, or that a College qualification is fine.

To get qualified for this, do you need to study it at degree level? If so, find the degree you want to do, phone them up and ask them.

If it makes no difference, I would avoid A Levels. They are REALLY hard work, and a lot of them will be irrelevant to the career you want. Going to College and doing one A Level sounds more sense to me- but make sure you can get into university with it.

Hi, i'm in first year of 6th form (year 12). i was originally going to go to my local college to do a window dressing course, but i went for an hour and it totally wasn't my thing so i went back to school. After thinking about it, i realised that being back at school was the best possible thing, cos if further along the line, i decided i didn't want to do the window dressing, what other qualifications do i have? this way if it's not for me, i have 3 other subjects to fall back on, and 3 possible career options. I'd strongly advise that you think about going back to school. I thought i'd hate it, but i couldn't feel anymore different to that now. Hope this helps :) xxx
