To be honest grades and degrees don't really mean much in the majority of jobs. I left school after A-Levels, where as a lot of my friends went on to Uni.

90% of them now have £20,000+ student loans and are all saying they can't get jobs without experience. I'm 99% sure I'm doing better than all of my friends that went to Uni.

Uni really is just a huge piss up these days, the first year is a joke, second years pretty much the same and the third year they knuckle down for 6 months to get their degree.

I'd let her get a part time job in Mc D's, She'll hate it! Then offer her £xx for each grade that she improves on. I'm guessing its AS Levels shes just done? They don't mean anything if she improves on her A-Levels.

Good Luck

That's true in the contracting game, quals mean nowt.
But when the market dries up and times get hard they'll pick the grads over the non.

But the quality of the birds during the 3-4 years of uni is greater
And they come on tap.

I've never gone to bed with an ugly bird. Woke up next to a few though.

The oldest profession in the world, is still work

Marriage ?

Beats being a tape changer

Were missing the real issue here.

Is she good looking? If so she won't need to work.

Don't knock her, let her make her own mistakes and be there to pick her up if she stumbles on the way.

A virtual pint for that man! Common sense and good parenting in a nutshell.

You can't live their lives for them, you can only advise.

[oracleslave]

with one year left of school, and those marks, I think you need to face reality that Mcdonalds might be the best she can hope for

I left school at 16 with three GCSE's. Got a p/t job at McDs for about a year and then dossed about for another year. Joined the forces, did 6 years, got 5 more O'Levels and 2 A'Levels. Been out 7 years contracting and in the last three years I've been on £400p/d + without a break in between contracts. I've got 2 houses and 3 flats (with an average 60% mortgage on each), go on sunny holidays once a year and snowboarding once a year. Own a nice car + a great bike. Not bad for three GCSE's at the age of 16.

And I'm midway through my LLB for my plan B.

Don't knock her, let her make her own mistakes and be there to pick her up if she stumbles on the way.
