Should I take a gap year for a job before A levels

[ancient scroll]

60 usd per hour jeez

mashallah

i lowk dk tho

[midnight vigil]

yes

[foggy compass]

Jazakallah Khair

Look the thing is

I want to do it , I love art

I’ll be designing clothes

But it’s not what my parents want

They want me to do bio tech

I obviously can’t go against their wishes , so I want to propose the idea that I take the job and a gap

Then I continue with A levels

[covert elk]

100%, 60usd per hour is crazy good

Most people dont make that per hour

[foggy compass]

I know

But that

Issue is that

[leaden crow]

I suggest having a serious talk with your parents because this is a greatttttt opportunity, and working for a while at the company to see if it suits you
people go their entire lives without making anywhere close to a $100k and allahumabarik you have a chance to make more than that!

[half path]

so if u go out of thier way they ill wat kick u out?

[covert elk]

Yea go with that, take a gap year, do the job, show them the money you make, but do note for uni or college just don't pick like art degree and those not saying its not good but the security sucks, if you really don't want bio tech you can discuss with your parents on other stuff that you a re interested in in the science field

[foggy compass]

No, it’s complicated . It just wouldn’t be alright if I did .

[foggy compass]

Hmm, thanks a lot , seems like the best way to take this tbh. I also do physics , I’ve never fell below a 98% in physics , so probably a field in physics for uni .

[foggy compass]

Jazakallah Khair , mate , I am planning to talk to them

[covert elk]

Engineering can be an option, do pick like a niche tho

[foggy compass]

Ill have to see , thanks though dawg

OMG 100 reps

!!

[covert elk]

Just do what you love tbh, just ensure that the thing you love the most doesn't hinder you from finance and stuff

Take the gap year, do the job, get the money, save it up in a high yield savings account or sum, or put in investment @foggy compass , really during the gap year discover what you want to do for uni, discuss with your parents about other options in the science field, since physics you are good consider aerospace or something like that, and trust in yourself that you got what it takes

[boreal steppe]

waste of time

[outer wraith]

why thi

Tho

They can earn, do more things and learn lotsssss

And even get experience under the belt

[boreal steppe]

u can legit js get a weekend job while doing a level instead

[outer wraith]

however id suggest preparing for one a level sub or idk studying some what so u don't lose on the study grip and study skills whatever one calls it

[outer wraith]

hmm would it pay the same for op?

[boreal steppe]

obvi not cause you'd be working less

but why waste a whole year

way better taking a gap year after a level

bc it wont set u back

[outer wraith]

actually i think a balance rightt

[outer wraith]

Yah

[boreal steppe]

cause u can finish a level then defer your entry to the next year

[outer wraith]

Like study for a levels. Just study 1 sub at least

hmm

[boreal steppe]

gap years can actually harm you if you dont use the time wisely

[outer wraith]

yah truee

[boreal steppe]

deadass js do a part time job during a levels then take gap year after

[foggy compass]

The jobs paying quite well though , plus it’s not just for a job , I’ll be doing other things , like interning at the university of Punjab as a physics intern , so it won’t effect me negatively much.

But I see your point

Thanks choom

[boreal steppe]

HOW has bro landed at internship in y11

lowkey valid then

most ppl js take gap years to be a bum

if your acc utilising it and doing valuable things like that it might be worth it then

[limpid jolt]

I could do that for the rest of my life and drop out of school 😭

[foggy compass]

That’s just not productive

[boreal steppe]

i mean 60 USD an hour is 130k a year

thats pretty good bro

[foggy compass]

I won’t be working a regular job I have freedom to work as many hours as I want , and to log it in . But I will work 8 . So yes it’s good

I just want to study more atp

It’s not a perm job

[half path]

If u are working 8 hrs a day consistently throughout the year then u are making
480$ USD per day
And multiply that by 365 u are making solid 175k USD per year

And making 14k USD to 14.5K USD per month which is good bruv
