gollark: GCSE results are in five days, and people are complaining a lot about how they messed up A-levels.
gollark: I'm not really sure about what do after A-level, and am also vaguely unsure about my subject choices for that, but *oh well* (I technically can still change them, though).
gollark: I have no idea if you *need* it here, but university is quite popular.

gollark: You are not, apparently, legally allowed to do full-time work until you're 18, and must be in education/training of some kind.
