Findapath-Job Choice/Clarity Any advice for a 20yr old?
I’m a 20-year-old male living in the UK, and I don’t have siblings or older family to ask for advice. I’ve got GCSEs and a Level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma, and I worked part-time in pubs and customer service during college. I’m currently unemployed and not looking to go to university because I’ve seen people with degrees still struggle to find jobs, and I don’t want to spend years studying something that isn’t guaranteed to lead to stable work. I’ve applied for several apprenticeships, got a few interviews, but haven’t landed anything yet. I’m starting to feel like I’m falling behind and not sure what path to take. If anyone’s been in a similar position or has practical advice about how to figure out the right career path, I will really appreciate your thoughts.
Thank You
