Hey Schuttzie, yes children finish high school here when they are 16, They keep saying they will change the law and make it 18 but I do not think it has happened yet.Here when children reach 16 these are the options:
Leave high school enter straight into work, low pay and will only get minimum wage at a basic entry level position eg: working on a till at a shop or in a cafe, you still have the opportunity to work your way up within a company that way but if the company closes all you have is experience and no qualifications and both are very important these days.
The other option which has become a massive awful trend here is to drop out or just leave school , have no job bum around do nothing have a few kids , the other option is to further your education and go to college where you can do one or two year courses depending on your ability and what you want to achieve.You enter college by choice it is not compulsary.
After college 1 or 2 years you will leave with certificates or diplomas these are enough to at least get you a good interview for a job but possibly would still be a basic entry level position on a lower wage .But better than nothing,
After college if you pass you can go to higher education at a university,You can go to a real brick built university , fees are around £9000 per year plus excursions, trips extras and living expenses rent and such or you can attend online university where fees are lower,There are bursaries,scholarships,grants and loans for those who wish to apply on a low income or facing hardships.
University usually takes 3 or 4 years if you attend a real brick university full time, online part time may take longer.
After that time you can proceed to postgraduate status to get an MBA (masters) and then you can get doctors in your subject.
It is a long thing and takes a lot of focus and dedication and hard work and most students are struggling in England for money as If they are studying full time there is not a lot of time left for working to keep their heads above water but there are people from all over the world who come here to study it is supposed to be one of the best areas for education.How true that is I do not know, I just know there are an extremely large amount of students and student residencies and universities all over town.People from all over the world are here studying.So that is your options in England,Do not think it is too much different from other places except we finish earlier than some countries and are allowed to work.I think working age in Jamaica is 15 I read in a law book somewhere.
My girls have already got in their chosen college , they start this September,One will do 2 years and then on to university as she is studying to become a primary school teacher.The other will complete 2 years in travel and tourism which she gets a lot of useful certificates from and they will get her a job in travel at the end of it as she is going travelling the world for a year.In that year she will decide if working her way up or continuing the work she has is what she wants or if she wants to use those certificates to come home and start university.
Going to university gives you a massively better chance at obtaining jobs with higher pay at a higher level.And with fierce competition and a lot of companies closing down here, the recession that we are told we are out of which I do not believe, change in government here and mass immigration and political issues they can't seem to cope with here , basically if you do not have every letter you can get after your name you are going to have a hard life and struggle for money just to keep your head above water unless of course you were born in to money or have inherited.So education and study I feel is essential for the average person.Without it unless you are a lucky person you will be on minimum wage in a booooooring job for what may become forever booooooring!
So me and my girls are just raking in all the certificates we can get right now.
