Should I quit my training to get my high school diploma and study?
Good morning,
I am currently 19 years old and in the second year of my apprenticeship as a retail clerk.
I left school after the 12th grade with a good academic performance in the general university of applied sciences entrance qualification and started my apprenticeship directly in the second year.
However, after four months I realize that I don't like the job and I don't see a future for myself in it.
My plan is to finish my training in the next few months and go back to school in the summer to complete Year 13 and get my Abitur.
After that, I would like to study business administration or financial management.
Would you say that it makes sense to take this path since the training offers no future for me and the profession does not suit me?

Would do it. Work. By the way, pick up Abbi and study via ne Fernuni bwl. That’s what you got in the bag and merit money.
This is exactly what I would advise you here – first finish training and then continue towards study.
You have to learn that you don’t always give up with a little wind. And training combined with a completed study is a guarantee for a life without worry about a job or for a low income.
The training forms the practical part and gives you the professional training course.
Accordingly, you could also save some time and effort and study directly after training at an FHS BWL.
It comes to the same time with the Abitur. Examinations would be in May 2026, my training would be at the end of July 2026.
For me personally, I would definitely prefer the school of work. Especially the working hours make me create. Shiftwork is zero, and the work on the weekend is quite burdening me. I don’t have much more time for my friends and don’t come to my hobbies anymore. I have also completed enough financial resources.
My concern and uncertainty lies only in how the aborted training would have an impact on job search in the future working life.
But thank you for this feedback.
Sorry, thought by ending you mean completing the training.
If you don’t have a second leg, if you don’t work with your studies, I would have more sense to go through the training. You can’t work with an Abitur. In the worst case, you should start again from the front.
Sounds too much for an apprentice. I feel more sensual about changing the employer.
Right and since you can study with the training and the specialist abitur anyway, that would be the safer number.
