Career ideas - Bilingual English and Polish
Hey everyone, I'm trying, along with my wife, to help her 15 year old nephew think what he might like to do as a career, to help him decide on further education etc. His grades for GCSEs I suspect, based on mocks, will be a collection of 4-6s, hopefully mostly 6s but we shall see. A fairly unique quality is that he's…

How do you find out whatever it is you need to find out for you to go self employed? Specifically as a driver, in case it makes a difference.
