basically, ive got 13 gcses, 7 of them music related. i did music tech at college and dropped out because it was absolutely shocking, abysmal course shocking excuse, subsequently it dosent even exist anymore at said college.
i have a music contract with a lot of suppliers in which i sell my products and get a 60/40 cut. so the course never really benefited me at all. fast forward and im 21. i work 32 hours a week at next and ipull in about 1200 month maybe more if i do overtime. i work 3pm til 12am so its a bit of a graveyard shift. my whole life is - wake up, chill for a bit, eat, work, come home sleep. this repeats, lifesboring, time passes by so slow, its a clock watching job, mentally phisically draining and now life is no fun.
ive just found out if ive not completed an a level i can go back and do one free of charge, so i was thinking of going back and doing something in mechanical engineering, or IT. these are the only 2 topics i can see the future keepinghold of. id drop to 24 hours a week at work and the alg id receive would cover the missing day.
does anyone have any insight into engineering or IT. id love to do engineering, system control, or even build PCs for a living, start a gaming rig building service, but that would only be a side job, too much competition. what does engineering entail, education wise, work wise, effort wise, prospect wise, job wise, wage wise, i reallyam interested.
cheers

and yeah as much as id love to do it i think themarkets become completely saturated, by best friends just spent 1.5k on a computah thingy and now cant land a job. id maybe do something it related but also engineering. id love to get into engineering or designing computer stuff, very very interesting hobby ill literally sit for hours in my spare time looking at case reviews, or the ergonomics and aesthetics of components. this day in age a business in building pcs with the likes of ocuk and tablets and smartphones its just going to decline so it would be great as a side hobby. can you work a full time job but also be self employed for example,if i had a job but built pcs on the side, could i claim back tax.
