I am 16 years old and due to missing about 4 years of school have only got G grades in my GCSEs (apart from getting a C grade in English) .I wondeed what my options are in terms of going to college? Do they have any courses for people in my situation? If so then what are they (called)? Can anyone tell me a bit about them? and what can someone progress to from these courses?Also....I have heard they run a few random GCSE subjects (mainly English and maths) at college? please be honest...would doing GCSE courses at college be suitable for someone in my situation? If so then how many subjects and what subjects should I take? and for how long? Also I wouldn't have a clue how to put a timetable of these subjects together (how to link them) etc.... so what can I do about this??(expecially if they are at different colleges) If I got G grades in my GCSEs ....what sort of a grade do you think I'd get at the end of a few 1 yr GCSE course subjects sat at college?please be honest. and what could I progress to after the GCSE courses?Can anyone out there help me? I feel really frightened about my future and no-one at home will help me.Does getting G grades mean that I have no future worth living?Or that I will never get a well-paid job?please help!!!!!

Yawn.
There are plenty of millionaire dropouts, so education is obviously not a prerequsite.
Business are looking for people who can solve their problems. A college degree means that you have some level of intelligence and have the ability to but forth a decent amount of effort. So it hedges their bets about what kind of employee you will be. They really arent going to use your knowledge of Wordsworth.
If you are eager and hardworking- thats what a boss wants. Get a couple of jobs; make it your goal to work around people who know more than you and work harder than everyone. Bosses will notice that you become a go-to guy, and you will get more oppertunity.
With-in 10 years you'll have a good paying job. I have seenit with dozens of friends. The ones that suceeded were the ones who put in effort.
