To cut a long story short, my mum wants to move away, if I do, I have to do a BTEC at a college (because they don't do a levels) But I don't want to move, because I want to continue with my A Levels
I know people label BTEC people as "stupid" and "lazy" (which I know isn't true), but I genuinely believe A Levels are better. I believe BTEC are for people who want a career in that particular field.
I want to do Sociology and Criminology at university, I was originally going to chose Social Work, but with Sociology and Criminology, it can broaden more opportunities to it, so I definitely want to continue to do Sociology A2, and I'm choosing Law AS for next year, so it all ties in pretty well - so I definitely want to continue A Levels - but my mum doesn't seem to understand :s
It would be nice if I could some detailed answers (all including the dis(advantages) of BTEC and the dis(advantages) of A Level)
Thank you in advance
