If you are determined to go to the USA make sure you read.. Jim Plagakis and not the glossy adverts from the US chains. Also don't forget that it isn't the EU so all the employment protection legislation does not apply.

Having said that - wouldn't mind trying ithe USA myself, as I would contract for a certain number of hours (just slightly more than the minimum to get the employer health benefits) and have lots of time for leisure & pleasure. Then again, only 12 years to retirement so might not.

Also your 'A' levels are not necessarily a barometer for how you will do in your degree. Uni is a different enviroment. Go with the work hard, play hard mindset and you can get your 2:1
