I'm 17 and currently studying Maths, Physics and Chemistry A2's at college. I keep feeling like going to university is being pushed upon me and I am looking for alternatives.

Does anybody know any apprenticeship style paths that I could follow relating to physics or possibly even chemistry?

Any help or peoples experiences would be great, thanks.
