Looking for career, college and university advice?

with 3 comments

Currently I’m doing my GCSE’s and looking forward to starting college in September. Although I’m stuck in between two situation that I cannot seem to choose one particular over the other one. I’m not predicted any C’s as grades for GCSE’s, most of the subjects I’m predicted a B. For Maths and Statistics I’m predicted an A and for Business (BTEC) I’m predicted A*. I was planning/ thinking of doing these subjects at college: Accounting, Business, Economics, ICT. The problem is that although I think I’m good at Maths I do not enjoy it as a subject. I’m in between choosing Economics for A-Level and not, since it revolves a lot around Maths. Accounting on the other hand I’m not quite sure some people have told me it revolves a lot around Maths but also other people tell me it doesn’t and that it just requires basic Maths and I’m left with mixed views. If anyone knows what the situation is with (Accounting A-Level and how much Maths it is) then information is highly appreciated, because if it involves basic Maths as some people have told me, then I might do a degree in the field. Overall I’m stuck although the subjects I like are Business in general (Management / Administration ..etc) and wanting to eventually get a job in the business field, I am also interested in Web design. I’m considering degrees in Business, ICT, Accounting and other related fields, however I’m not sure if that would be a good idea… and advice on the situation is highly appreciated. Thanks
Problem is if i was to do history, maths or sciences … for history i would need A level history, for maths.. a level maths and for sciences i would’ve needed to take a level at some of the sciences.

How To Find My Career Path?

with 3 comments

I’m seventeen years of age and I still haven’t chosen the career path in which I want to follow. I’m very interested in the world of business and I think that area is something I was born to do. For example, when I was really little, about 9 or 10, I used to buy multipacks of products from supermarkets and then sell them to my brother and sister to make a profit. So it kind of comes naturally to me. I guess I could be an entrepreneur. However, I lack self-confidence and I’m pretty shy around people. I also enjoy graphic and web design. I’m also keen on interior design and architecture. There’s so many options that I would enjoy but at such a young age, I don’t know how to go about following my dream. I do want to start my own business at one stage of my life but I doubt I’ll be able to do that at 18. Any ideas on how I could figure out the right career path? Thank you very much.

How can I make my little projects more successful?

with 2 comments

I have a lot of time to spare.

I am trying to learn a number of things at once:

- Driving
- Creating and Selling Business Cards
- Making my own ringtones using audacity
- Accounting
- Web Design (using FrontPage and Dreamweaver)
- Graphic Design (PhotoShop)
- Writing and Expressing myself effectively
- My Health

I am young and very ambitious. And I think it’d be pretty cool to learn all these things and become as healthy as I can.

However, almost everything I come accross ends up being a lot harder than it initially seems!

If you are starting out with web design or photoshop it is impossible to find a start. There are huge archives of info on the internet but no site seems to systematically approach any of the topics. You just get thrown in at the deep end.

Any tips or ideas are appreciated :)

Is it a good idea to start a consultancy business, if you’re young?

with 6 comments

Hi,

I want to start my own consultancy business for the tourism and hospitality industry with 3 other people. Although these people are more than qualified eg worked in the top hotels in the UK and abroad, have their own hotel business, worked in destination management companies and travel agencies, studied at top Swiss Hospitality Schools and UK’s most known University for Tourism and Hospitality degrees and on qualified accountant, and are internet and web design savvy, I have found on numerous general Business Consultancy services that generally the experience spans over 20 years etc. We’re all on our mid twenties and I would fear that it might not be successful due to our age, although we have the experience, drive and are passionate about the tourism and hospitality industry.

Many thanks for your help

Internet business idea – can you help?

with 8 comments

I have an internet business idea and am looking for help to develop it as I have very little experience in web design. I’m not sure if my idea is totally original but I’ve done some research and believe it might be. Similar sites exist but I don’t feel they’re taking advantage of all there is to offer. Any suggestions on how I can take this forward would be appreciated.

Thanks – CJ

How can I make my internet business a success?

with 7 comments

I am thinking about starting up an internet business making and selling handmade cards – birthday, wedding, sympathy etc. I know there are a million and one other people doing this kind of thing, so how should I go about getting my site on the first page of a search engine? I have absolutely no idea about web design but am willing to learn. I’ve tried selling on Ebay but would like my own site as I begrudge paying Ebay so much in fees!! Oh and btw I live in the UK if this makes a difference, although I would be happy to mail my products all over the world.
