Just enjoy it! You have your degree, however DON'T TEACH

Where do you live? What opportunities are open to you? Do you want to continue living where you are? Have you ever had a fancy for one career path over another? Do you want an outdoor job or an indoor job? Perhaps both! Start with something simple, gain some experience and then go for what takes your fancy.
So many questions in life but the world is your oyster - go and enjoy.
Personally I had three different career paths during my working life and enjoyed each of them at that time. Good luck and I hope you enjoy whatever you decided to do.

Take your maths gcse again. local colleges do gcse's and it wont take you long if youve got a degree. Thats if you want to be a teacher.
If you dont want to be a teacher then only you know what you enjoy. Id say take your time deciding and temp till you do decide. I made the mistake of jumping into an office job for money and then progressing through the job and now im stuck here coz ive got a reasonable wage i probably couldnt get elsewhere and im not trained in anything!
Best to start out doing what you want to do for good.
Take a career test online to see what jobs would suit you. They ask you loads of personality questions and stuff.
good luck!

Do the PGCE, somewhere that will help you to get the Maths. You've got a degree, don't let a little thing like a GCSE stop you doing what you want to do!

If you want to do a PGCE you have to do a literacy, numeracy and IT test in any case, so your lack of a GCSE in maths won't affect you - as it didn't me. Look into it a little further if you think it's really for you, but don't do it because you can't think of anything else to do - you really have to want to teach to be successful. Good luck.

Look for jobs in publishing, in the Inland revenue, journalism, your local council....
Go to your local job centre and ask to discuss you problem with some one.
Do not go into teaching unless it is something you really want to do. Otherwise you will be in this position again 4-5 years down the line.

Start a band, become famous and make millions in record sales. Otherwise do maths and be a teacher or a librarian.
