MY son is coming up to 17 and doing A-levels in maths, physics and chemistry.
He was told he had to take maths with physics, but he is really struggling with it and not enjoying the course at all.
I feel he'd do better if he knew what he wanted to do, but the careers advice at the college is poor, in my view, and hasn't helped him at all.
Where can someone of his age get careers advice from?
The Job Centre only helps those looking for work, and I don't want him to be miserable for the next two years.
