[Help] Moving to England

I agree with you that everyone is pushed into UNi these days. I'm only 20, so did a levels recently and they basically hound you into going to UNi.
I think people are pressured into it so much by the attitude that you won't get anywhere in life if you don't go to UNi.

It's not just the schools though its just a social norm now. All your friends expect you to go to UNi and I think a lot of people go just because its the easy choice at the time, they don't have to pay for it straight away. And it is fun. But mainly because everyone else did it.

I wish I had looked into other options more before doing a levels. When I think that I could of finished an apprenticeship by now, it's rather annoying!

I decided to sack of going to UNi and go travelling instead, which I would recommend to anyone.

Also I'm in Perth, Australia. There's shit loads of jobs. And everything is well paid. Bar workers for example get $28 an hour. And if your prepared to do jobs that people don't want to do as much, like labouring you can earn loads more then that. The miners are on at least $50 an hour

The weathers amazing here and the economy seems decent.

Just need more 306s!

If people want to leave the uk. Come here its awesome
