I posted above because I saw some had failed A/L and there was advice given to redo the A/L. While this may have been the case 10-15 years ago, now there are paths of progression outside A.L. For example if you are interested in IT, you can do a BSC in software Eng / networking / etc by first doing a foundation course from the same university in place of A/L.
And you can get jobs if you studied by yourself and have no degree as well. But this depends on the company and the interviewers. If they are open minded, a degree wouldnt be a hard requirement. But it will always be good to have one from a reputed university in case you are planning to migrate etc.
I just wanted to say failing A/L is not the end of the road anymore.
