GOOD LUCK to all those dealing with A & AS level results tomorrow!

[Milliways]

Getting tense here, so DD has invited a crowd of her friends around tonight to pass the time together.

Here's hoping they will all get the right results for whatever course/career they want to follow.

Good luck everyone

Many thanks for the hand holding this morning.

That sounds really positive dinasaw-hope all goes well for him.

DS2 who is now 32 is a self employed sound and lighting engineer. He did a BTEC at college which he failed because he didn't do the written work although the practical side was good. He was lucky as he got employment while he was studying working for a sound engineer doing very basic things like humping boxes to operating very basic sound desks.

What he found was that because he started working full time when he was 18 he had built up the contacts by the age of 21 and the graduates in sound engineering were three years behind him and had no experience. I don't know how much he earns but it is more than his brother who is an assistant head teacher.

So what I am saying a degree is not always necessary.

thanks so much for the explanations lily, plesaedelete and rusty, that makes so much more sense now. I assume it's the school who gives them their predicted grades.

hope everyone got the news they wanted

DS got in to his first choice too!! very pleased!!

And DD got AABB!!!! she only dropped one mark in one exam!! super genius child that she is =)

very proud mummy here!! congratualations to all others!!

eurgh I've got to do this all over again next year lol
