I spent a year in the far east and then came back to the UK and did my A lvls before going on to Uni. One thing I did find though was I did the A lvls that my mum expected me to - sciences and maths - and my first degree in chemistry and didn't enjoy it. So if you go on into further and higher ed think hard about what you want to study.

For me, A Levels (Maths, Phys, Chem) and then a degree in Computer Science.
I don't think there is a lot of point in A levels unless you intend to go to Uni, but I could be wrong since this was 20 years ago ... The degree opened doors for me at the time, but 20 years later people are much more interested in your recent experience, not where you went to school. On the other hand, at age 21, all you have is where you went to school, so it served its purpose for me

It is important to really get to know your education system well adn know what school you wanna go. Be aware that very often people continue their education not being aware of the things they will learn there and go because of friends and other people's stories and recommendations. It is very common for people to realize what they have signed for after 1-2 years on the uni when they see how things work there. So it is very important to really go through each and every piece of info and see what you like, choose 4-5 different possible options and then get familiar about those options, so you make your choice well. When makeing a choice, the most important thing to know is what you gonna do with it when you finish your school days and get a job. Talk to someone who already does similar job - that can help you the most.
Other than that, don't listen to anyones tales and do what you like the best - that's my advice to you. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
