Hi I’m 17 years old from the UK and am stuck about what to do. I’m currently an apprentice engineer in my first month of a 4 year apprenticeship and I can’t see myself doing this for the rest of my life it’s just very dull. I don’t know the best thing to do now I’m not sure whether to carry on with the apprenticeship as a security net because I have a good career at the end while trying to build a business or if to get a good paying job to support me while trying to build a business. I think I would maybe go all in and try and get the job and invest lots of money and time into building a business but I fear it not working out deep down even though I know it’s possible for me. If anybody has any advice or has been through something similar any help would be appreciated.
