Hey. so i'm currently at college which is boring as it is. My "plan" of action is to leave college with A levels and get a job. Currently I find college a bore, unproductive and depressing but im almost finished so it's best for me to stay and get grades. University is also something i've been put off by so that's not really an option.
My question is how does one get into the working world? I know everyone first job isn't really glamorous. But how do you get into a stable job that you won't get made redundant?
Are there any good websites for young people to get into working?
cheers.

Share a bit more info with what you're happy doing, what is it you are doing in college, what it is you want to do career wise, where you live, your age, etc. More people could share insight with things depending on your details.
In terms of stable jobs, nothing is stable.
When I was at college all I wanted to be was aeronautical engineer but hated A-levels and the thought of uni so enrolled to apprenticeships throughout the UK and ended up doing something slightly different - technical support and project management in marine/nuclear engineering.and I didn't even stay in college long enough to do exams I was out like a hare.
What I'm getting at is don't just look at one specific area but broaden your search and you never know you can strike gold
Good luck with the hunt and future prospects
