I would say have a look at journalism. You could run your own business with it and there are many opportunities for management too!

Good luck with what you decide! : )

I think it's good you like the idea of working for yourself. A lot of people nowadays are job searching and having no luck. Youngsters like Fraser Doherty, 18, who has been working on his big idea for four years. He is already on his way to making his first £million after clinching a deal with a leading supermarket to sell jam based on his grans secret recipe. Yes Jam! Nearly 2,000 new businesses are now created in Britain everyday, with one in ten entrepreneurs leaving school at 16 to work for themselves. With English, Maths, Computer skills you can become a :

web designer or

set up an online store and buy and sell goods/ services that interest you or

recruitment or

catering or

courier or

anything that envolves maths, english and IT really.

If you're not studyng computing now you need to at college if you will get anywhere and then follow this on to university to get a decent job in any computing career.

You could see what cmopanies offer management training schemes, the DWP offer good ones but you need an honours degree for most graduate management schemes. Aim for that if you can. If you're unsure what you want to do go to 6th form college and study subjects you are good at and like if possible but go for ones you're good at over liking them first as the main aim is to get good grades not learn something you like. You could always do another A-Level as a mature student later on if you want to.

Once you have good grades many doors are open to you. For example; universities do not like taking students on in Law Degrees if they've studied Law at A-Level! Might sound odd but they want people with experience of life as they can teach the technical stuff themselves so they prefe maths, english etc.

Other than that it is best to get into an administration job as a temp through agencies straight out of college or uni until you get a secure job. This will give you excellent admin, word processing and office skills experience which will be a great help to you later on and mean you are never short of work if you ever find yourself unemployed. Hope that helps! :)
