In general you will find that all employers will want a good sound education, and all will want good grades in English and Maths.  Without at least a C in English and Maths you will find a lot of career paths are not open to you.  Something like a Dental Nurse you will need good English and Maths as you will be counting teeth, or at least ticking numbers on the screen.  Science would be a good one to have too as obviously it is science based.

I really want a career as a dental nurse but I got D grades in my GCSEs. Do you think I still have a chance in getting in the industry?

I am 24 years old, run a car and home but have no dependents. I do however need full time employment, I wouldnt be able to cope with a full-time apprenticeship. Any ideas I will appreciate feedback.
