Hey mate, i went through the same sort of thing as you. My mum wanted me to go to uni, my dad didnt care. I didnt want to go to uni. Did 1 year at 6th form doing A levels and failed so bad i got 1/100 on my Mechanics paper! and a U in everything. Anyway, i suggest going with whatever makes you happy and what you want to do, its your life but dont ruin it. Take your time deciding but then again to wait too long for open opportunities. I'm now at College studying Engineering, got into contact with some guys at BAE (British Aerospace Engineering) and they said that after my corurse they would take me on as an apprentice and then get a sweet job with them. Long story put short go with whatever makes you happy, and what YOU want to do. Not what other want you to do, but take their advice into consideration. Also, sit down with you parents, dont get angry at them and say you dont want to go to Uni and what you do want to do.
