Bad A level results...where can I go?

Are you really good in music? If yes, just go for it seriously. I think it will be better than life as engineer etc.. If your family is rich, just go overseas to study.

I think A levels and poly education is out of the question for you. You don't like to study, so go back also no use. Although you fail, at least you have learnt one thing- traditional studies is not for you. If you think that you can at least survive traditional music studies in schools like laselle or nafa, then go for it lor. It depends on what you really want to become; what you mean by "career in music"? You mean like become a music teacher, a musician, a popstar?

If you just want to be music teacher, very easy. Everyday play piano, get more students via word of mouth. Or better, you sign up with a music teaching school to teach music- safer that way. If you got money and time to spare, and want to diversify, i suggest you go to My Drum School. It's a school to learn drums (duh). After learning past a certain level, you can ask the headmaster (James) whether or not he needs a teacher/trainer. He probably is still employing people, so can get a job there. I heard starting salary is like $25 bucks per hour, and it's very good and enjoyable business. I study there before, for only 1.5 years, he ask if I want to study to be teacher. Too bad I got A levels and NS, otherwise I will get job there le. James is very nice wan also, so sure got chance wan. Music teacher, whether piano or drums, can earn lots of money for little effort wan.

If you want to be more professional, or a musician, then no choice, must go laselles and NAFA, or overseas if u rich lah. If you want to be popstar, then i dunno. Most popstar also got poor education, but they got talent, and good people skills. If u think u have that then go for it lor, though i still think music teacher will suit u.

Go for what you like in life, if you look around, some successful peoples do not hve high education, but they are happy in their life, cos they choose what they believe and like. And when you do thing that you like and enjoy, you get motivated and do well.

Just like, me, tho basic education is a must, but i do bartending, DJ and cashier jobs, run a few pubs, what is o level, what is diploma, what is U degree??

THis is one of the limitatons Singaporean face. Either you are the top students or you are are nobody. the system is only for the few. Unless your parents have $$$, I suggest go overseas and sturdy. IN the USa you should be able to get a good job with H1-B visa and stay and work.

Life is not just about university, alots of people never go university also can make it big, like me, employed university graduates to do accounting for me, of course, studying is good, but dun study blindly for the sake of studying, there are many other way to make a living then a mere uni cert.
