Probably not, although I'd argue it could be a good stepping stone in life if I did.
As a kid, I always wanted to own my own bus/coach company. As I've grown older, I've expanded that to be any business. My childhood aspiration is the reason why this month is so important to me. Although Go North East is a large company, the principles of what they do would have to be carried out with any bus operator - no matter how large or small.
I discovered today that, from the moment you apply for the job, it takes around three months for you to actually get behind the wheel and start driving (if, of course, you are successful - many aren't) - and that's when your mentor will be training you on various routes, etc. I honestly didn't think it would take quite so long.
I'd love to be a bus driver and work my way up - and as this year is a incredibly important year (options) I need to make my mind up quickly. Business and Travel and Tourism is a no brainer for me. I'll probably get selected for the English Baccalaureate thing and have to pick a language (German) and a Humanities which will be Geography.
I don't know what will help me become a bus driver, but are you going to sixth form or college? I'd much prefer college, but not sure what one would be more beneficial. Not sure about uni mind.
