Career Route from Scotland

I am currently 16 in 5th year in Scottish High School. I have the option to leave for a non-target uni in May but also have the option to stay on for an extra year and go to Edinburgh or St Andrews as a boosted option. I want to stay in Scotland for my education to make use of the free tuition, however after uni I would be willing to travel ANYWHERE for work. I am working towards IB at the moment but I have no clue how I can get myself there. Any advice is appreciated but I would love to be able to get on a call with someone or to meet for coffee to discuss prospects. Again any advice is appreciated as I have yet to decide on the right route for me. Thank you.

Hey man, could you please anonymize urself and remove the Linkedin link?

What’s your thoughts about studying in England? 

 

Thanks for the advice. The only thing putting me off studying in England is the money. I get free higher tuition as I am a Scottish citizen and I would prefer to make use of that. I do have money that I could use for a tuition in England but that would leave me with little to no savings.

 

Provident illo nihil laborum deserunt ipsum inventore. Pariatur libero dolorum voluptates impedit. Aut sit nihil aliquam. Perspiciatis sint doloribus sunt necessitatibus aliquid. Architecto et velit illo ut velit.
