What to do after A levels?

I'm in my first year of A levels, and we're being pushed to go to uni, almost as if it's what we're supposed to do. Now, i really have no idea what i want to do. I don't want to go to uni until i decide what i want to study or if it's even for me. Would it be a good idea to find jobs in my fields of interests until i decide? Or what if i don't decide at all, i'm worried i'll end up in a crap job that i don't enjoy. Anyone been in the same situation?

Do you have a careers adviser person at school you can talk to?
hope that helps a bit.
There are apprenticeships and training programs for post 18 school leavers....
just remember here that she has left school at 16, chosen to continue studying for her A Levels so her next step would be uni or work or further training of some kind? To an extent an apprenticeship would be stepping down a level, unless she decided to go into something particular e.g. hairdressing.
but I have to say, after all the good times I personally have had at uni, I'd heartily recommended going if there's a course you find interesting :yes:
*except one :grump:
i think much of the time people just do a degree in something they're interested in - not what they want a career in. sometimes it's not what your degree's in but more the fact that you have one.
