Funny how i left school at 16, now 21 with no huge student debt to pay and earning more than your normal teacher a year with better job prospects. But anyway, going off topic.
If you do move to this country, dont go to uni!!
Mine were pretty much the same. It was "go to uni or youll end up on the tills at Tesco for the rest of your life" and you better do well in your GCSEs etc. Funnily though they seemed to think id have great job prospects even if I went and did the Motorsport engineering degree cos theres sooooo many jobs in motorsport.
I got shit GSCEs as I couldnt be bothered with studying, went to college and got shit grades in a BTEC (equivalent to A levels) and then did the first month of an apprenticeship. Like you I now earn more than a Teacher and have better prospects and TBH the most fun job in the world.
