Students often feel that they work and exams they do in their early education life are not relevant to a job they may want in the future.

I remember learning about certain subjects within maths and thinking I will probably never use this again. Often that may well be the case, but sometimes it is not the actual learning of a particular method or topic that is needed. To have the ability to learn new subjects and processes is needed in almost every job, and if you can pick up things quite quickly then you will be favoured by an employer.

Doing well in school really is important. Some employers do not necessary look for exams results or training in the particular field that their business is in, just that you have the ability to learn and the drive to succeed. If you have no idea what you want to do when it comes to GCSE time, then pick subjects that you enjoy and excel in. This way, you will give yourself the best chance in achieving good grades and the chances are you will want to find a job that is related to subjects that interest you.
