Hi, i am at the moment 16 and am studying A level's in 6th form. my uncle currentyl work as a relationship manager in private baking in Zurich switzerland. iv been speaking to him alot about this career and would like to get in to it.

at the current moment i have to make a very imoprtant decision. i am thinking of leaving my A levels and starting work at HSBC while on the other hand staying on for A levels and doing a degree in economics for example.

i am basicly wondering that if i left now and went straight in to HSBC would i have the better advantage as working for a bank 6 years earlier as wether i was to come out with a degree if i went to university. i have been speaking to a number of career advisors and have an interview on what i should do in the forth coming weeks. i would just like to know what you personaly think i should do as i dont know which route will take me higher and giving me a leading advantage.

thanks alot Ash
