Re: What job could I get if...

The simple answer is, 'Yes' but it won't be a highly paid one - no great problem (I speak from experience ( )) but without (at least) A-levels and preferably a degree you will possibly have nowhere else to go. Some people get into jobs that they enjoy at first (or think they will enjoy ...) but then find that they get bored/become redundant/aren't very good at &c &c &c - with some reasonable qualifications they can go somewhere else, try something different, but without qualifications they can easily find themselves on the so-called scrap-heap.
Sad, but true.
My recommendation would be to get, at least, a few A-levels (including biology!) and then think about further education.
I think (I know from experience) that young people can become rather eager, impatient to get into working on what, at the time, seems to be the love of their life .... it is worth waiting a few years - both for the extra qualifications and for the extra opportunties.
Good luck!
PS: I imagine that the sports job would, assuming you're reasonably fit, be an easy thing to catch up with later if you decide that's what you want to do.

Now, say I got all the GCSE's for that, is there any jobs I could go into without college or university, or would I have to go on further? I would love a job somewhere in the Lakes.
