Hi everyone,

So I am currently studying my A-Levels in the UK, i'm not taking any sort of engineering or car mechanics courses. Yet i'm really passionate about getting into the automotive industry. I like the idea of sales but i'm not entirely sure just yet. I understand that i'm likely going to have to start at the very bottom of the industry and work my way up through gaining experience. I was just wondering what my options are, if there are any apprenticeships/internships or anything along those lines.

Thanks a bunch!

I have considered it, i'm just a little on the edge about going to university, not sure if it will be for me. At the moment, the only sort of related thing I am studying is physics. Thanks for your reply though, really helped i'll definitely consider looking into it because I know it will open a lot of doors.

Thanks again

Yeah you do raise a very good point, but also like you said I am very keen. I know there's a few garages near me like Jaguar and a couple other independent dealerships. I might give them a try, thanks very much.

Yeah, also a good point. But you can receive a lot of financial support right? Or at least I heard you could. Thanks for your help
