I'm just about to do my TEE exams and I have no idea what to do if i don't get a high enough score. So for those who didn't make it/chose not to go onto tertiary education, what did you do? Do you regret not going to UNI? Did your parents hate you for it?

I couldn't decide if this belonged in SG or here so feel free to move it if you want mods :)

you should really do some tertiary education, or at least a TAFE/community college type course.

but yeah, if you dont there are more than too many jobs that i can name. work in whatever field takes your fancy.

if you pass everything, you'll get into some kind of course. once you get into uni, you can swap and change to other courses relatively easy.

If you are worried you'll bomb out, its not too much of a drama. you can always get a place at uni if you really want to (through tafe courses or special consideration, and there is always repeating a unit or two).

if you decide you don't want to go to uni, or for some reason can't get it, its not the end of the world. natural ability will get you everywhere, although if the economy is nearly as bad as the news says it may be difficult to get a decent job. trades and apprenticeships are always there too.

also, if you have no idea what you want to do, there is nothing wrong with working a shitty customer service job for a year or two while you figure yourself out. i went to uni straight out of high school not knowing what i wanted to do, ended up dropping out and working (many many shitty jobs) for a couple of years. i sorted my self out, next year I'm going to do post grad studies.

I'm not sure if there is a moral in there.

Thanks so much, two great posts of advice :D

As they've said, you've got plenty of options and opportunities.
