    16, no ambitions, bad grades, where to go?
    Well, as it says up there.
    I've left school, and have a temporary job until Christmas.
    I've always been interested in the Entertainment industry, but I'm unsure which factors.
    I'm a thrillseeker, and love making people laugh, but am also looking for something which could see me into the future.

    This seems like quite a wide question, but I don't know how I can narrow it down.

    I Hope someone understands where I'm coming from slightly, and could lend some help, advice, or ask me more questions.

    Thanks

    The first step is to go back to school. You will get no where in live without an education. You will not get into the entertainment industry without school. An education will only open the doors for you.

    I was considering college, but my school years we're the worst, I was never there, don't enjoy it, and although I'm perfectly capable of reading, writing ,maths and everything, I feel confined at school, and after failing to get into 2 colleges, I earn £120 a week, £100 of which goes to living costs. If I quit my job and started school again, I'd have nowhere to live.
    I just don't want to become someone who is work dependent, dead end job etc, but I'm almost there already.

    You don't have to quit your job while going to school. You can take evening classes, or if you work in the evening you can go to school during the day. You can even do distance education where you learn on your own at your own pace. You have options!

    I get that you felt confined at school and didn't enjoy it, but the point is, you will have to get an education if you don't want that dead end job. That should be your modivation to get an education, and finish it.

    I agree with the above about going back to school and completing your basic courses. What is it that you would like to do in the entertainment industry? Do you play a musical instrument, dance, sing or act? I work in the entertainment industry as a professional musician.

    Where are your parents?

    One's in Ireland, Other don't speak anymore.
    I've never needed anyone to rely on in the past, probably because I haven't actually THOUGHT about what I do, just done it to get on with it.

    Evening classes sound good, I'll look into that, Cheers.

    I still would appreciate knowing what it is that you would like to do in the entertainment industry, if you wouldn't mind sharing that. As I have stated previously, I do work in the entertainment industry. Also, you said the following in your original post:

    So, please let us know if you do want some guidance in pursuing a career in the entertainment industry.

    Umm, after some thought, I'm not strong on playing instruments, can't sing, but am thinking more of a general entertainer, Like Butlins Redcoats or something.
    Not a flying ambition, but a start I guess
