Hi guys, looking to get some advice on my situation right now, I'm currently 18 years old working as a plumber but I want to get into finance/banking and don't know where to start, I was thinking of going to university but I don't have the A levels.

Not to stop your dreams, but it's pretty much impossible to break into any finance job without A-Levels, you could try to get apprenticeships in finance but it will be very hard.
