Should I drop out til and work until Uni in Sept? Or complete course?
I am 18 years old in A2. My situation is: I was rejected on all courses I applied for at Uni (lack of experience in the profession). One Uni has offered me a related degree unconditionally.
Complete 1 A level
- Not dependent on entering the related course
- My mum wants me to complete at least 1 of the 3 I'm taking
-
- Psychology course relates to Mental Health degree (unconditional offer)
-
- Haven't attended since December so I have last years content & this years content to catch up on. Exams in May
-
- stress made me depressed
-
- Gain 1 Lv 3 qualification
-
- Uni qualification would trump this one (Lv 4)
Work until University starts
- Drops all stress related to college
- Earn money rather than sit around doing nothing like I have for past few months
- I can volunteer too to get additional experience
- Life would feel more organised.
-
- would just have 3 AS quals from 2 years of college
Essentially if I do this Mental Health degree it will tick the 3 things I lack right now to get the apprenticeship/degree I desire. Only issue is the commute so I'm looking for a closer course but I have a 100% garauntee to be accepted on offered. I changed the question half way through writing as I realised taking the related course is the best option for me only other way to get quals is if I pay privately (£6k) / get an apprenticeship (which I need Lv 4 qual + driving experience + care experience to get on to).
Anyone have any advice on what I should do? Is it beneficial for me to just focus on this a level rather than sorting my life out? Cheers in advance x

afaik, unconditionals still require you to take the exams, otherwise you lied to them about taking them.
Sorry I worded that badly. I have the UCAS points required already for the course entry.
Oh okay, my bad.
