What is a better career?

What's better, a salary-secure career or a fun career?

• I got As and A*s in my GCSEs. I'm doing my A-levels now, sometimes I feel like perhaps I should have fun and a laugh in London rather than go straight into university then a career. What should I do? I was hoping to go into Oxford - don't worry, I'm not complacent and I know how hard it is to get in. But that was my plan, and I was going to do English or Law.

• Answer:

  You can have fun during the summer. There is no reason that you can't have fun during the school year as well as long as you keep fun in the proper perspective./
