there are 3 ppl in my year currently doing pathways - 2 who are finishing now, and 1 who will be carrying over to next year.
they all seem to really like it, but yeah i couldnt stick it out, i hate school waaaay too much to try and do this again, even if it is only part-time.
at the start of the year i looked into it, my careers advisor said that very few ppl who start pathways ever finish coz they dont like going back the following yr when all their friends have finished and gone. she told me that the ppl who seem to really succeed at it are sort of loners so they dont have the thing with missing their friends, as they dont have any.
if anyone reading this is thinking about doing pathways i would suggest keeping all ur subjects for now, and if you fail any then do them again next year, rather than dropping some now and having no option other than to do them next yr. you never know, you might get through ok and not have to worry about coming back.
