He's in yr9 and about to start thinking about his GCSE option. Recently he has been deciding on what he wants to do when he leaves school. I am getting a bit freaked out that life is going to be really tough for this generation - to find a job or to afford university. DS wants to try for an apprenticeship but they aren't easy to get hold of especially in the area he's interested in.
Suddenly his grades and results seem really important. And the decisions he makes over the next few months. More so than ever before. He's doing OK, much more than OK in some areas, but I am so worried it won't be enough.
Anyone else getting panics about the future?
