It really isn't the end of the world mate, chin up. As Evil said, plenty of people are doing well for themselves without that extra grade or education. Most of my mates are racking up student debt and the furthest they've travelled is to the local pub and back to spend hundreds of pounds on booze on top of their student debt that they're going to be paying off for the rest of their lives.yea
i jus don’t know what to do anymore really
i was banking on doing well
i didn’t
whoops
Meanwhile I failed all my science GCSEs only getting 7 in total, got one C grade A-Level in photography and less for the other two, and didn't go to uni, but I've got enough to buy my dream motorbike, comfortably rent a place if I was going to rent, run and maintain a car all whilst travelling the world and getting paid to do it. My Dad passed school with 3 GCSEs and ZERO other qualifications but owned his own business and worked for the police as a detective (which I'm sure relates to what you want to do from seeing your subjects), retiring in 2 years with a massive pension payout.
Grades aren't everything. Experience is. It sounds like bullshit but unless you're going for an academic job (i.e accountant, auditor) the company will be less interested in grades and more interested in prior experience. Who would they rather hire in a customer service role; someone who went to Oxford but hasn't worked a day in their life and has no idea how to deal with customers and colleagues, or a person who has a decent 3+ years in a previous role relating to the one they're applying for?
As I said, chin up. You're more than your grades.
