Hi All!
Left school today!! Seems really weird, hasn't hit me yet Such a great feeling though, even though I will miss quite a few mates as they are going elsewhere
Only seems yesterday I started comp, and now it's all over! Onto Sixth Form next, doing A-Levels in Physics, Maths, DT Resistant Materials and French.

Just thought I'd post this up and see what everyone else did at the age of 16!? Sixth Form, College, Work? Or just be a bum...

Went on to college, did physics, maths, further maths and accounting, now I'm in my 3rd year of a physics masters at Warwick. Can't wait to graduate and start earning some real money...

Wow! What do you hope to go on to do as a job? This is where I'm a bit stuck, I have no idea where to go after sixth form...

still unsure what to do once i finish uni

i went straight into factory work. at the time i just wanted money. i wish i went into a trade now as now i would be making a very nice wage. my advice is to learn something which will lead to better things.

Nice! I would love to go into vehicle design, but even though the vehicle industry is huge, vehicle design seems near impossible to get into!

I have no idea either! I chose a 4 year course to help make my mind up...but I still haven't decided. I've got a summer internship in the technology division at Merrill Lynch, so we'll see how that goes. Research is really interesting but you get paid peanuts. I guess my dream job would be designing weapons, but failing that I'd be quite happy working at the AWE/MOD/Qinetiq.

But earning money for nothing is a much better plan

Yea, Im thinking more Single seater F1 really, start of small, formula ford, formula palmer audi etc, valuntry work, then become the next Adrian Newey

Its not too hard to get into really, if you know your way around a few CAD programs and know the basic effects of aerdynamics on a Race car, like finding the right front flap angle at a certain track so that you can slipstream the car in front but keep the flaps at an angle which will still enable the car to enter the following corner without over-steering off then you should be okay lol.
