as i am not in the position of a 19 yr old, i obviously am not an expert.If i was 19, i would go into an agency and ask what my options are. I would give the biggest plainface if they told me the best thing they can find for me is a £14k a yr Trainee Cashier job, especially if i have 9 GCSE and 3 A Levels grade A-C.If you are seriously telling me that that is what a 19 yr old should be aiming for- then this country is f*cked.And again, i reiterate that this isnt a dig at e15 because he has just come out of school and has no A Levels, so for a school leaver, that is a very good job.

im not exactly sure why you keep quoting A levels like its some victoria cross. there are graduates with BSC'S still looking for work months after graduation, the job market for most careers now is more based on experience than what degree you have, banks are also quick in terms of staff progression if you're a hard/good workerthey are always expanding and always have opportunities available for the right staff, so being a trainee is the start of better things if he can do the job.by the time he finishes college and begins uni he would have much better prospects. the best you will get when you walk into those agencies with a levels is either telesales/admin/ or any other trainee position

Cool.I've never been in that situation as i went straight to uni after A-Levels.I Know A Levels aren't regarded that highly, but i thought employers looked more favourably on those with A Levels than GCSE's.I just thought that working in the head office rather than branch would give better experience and maybe career progression.
