Not sure what the teachers at my school did, they didn't give enough guidance tbh! I left school not having a fecking clue what I wanted to do. Still don't if I'm honest. I did get plenty of GCSEs, but a few letters on a peice of paper mean sod all in the real world, just means I knew the answers to a few questons on the dayof the tests, they just seemed to be the means into a college course tbh - which was free to do and thought 'why not'. Turned out I found electrics really boring, but carried it on and even distinctioned the course. When I could drive I started joining forums and teaching myself a bit about cars and decided to try that instead as I had another 2 years of college free. I did much prefer that, and will probably go into something like that, but I can't imagine doing that for my entire working life tbh. I still dont know what to do really, wish I'd been pushed into something or atleast given a lot more guidance from school. Ah well, it's passed now anyway, not much point moaning about something that cant be changed. 
I know I'm in a different situation to almost everyone else on here now. But the 'mates' that I had in school and college are mainly at Uni now...and do seem to have a hell of a lot more fun than me, just judging by facebook statuses/pics though.
