Sailmaking

   Couple of points:
there are many sailmakers making a reasonable living doing repairs, covers, various one-off stuff, you don't need to be at the front of a dinghy fleet for this.
All careers are tough at the moment, if you can get a training place, go for it, you can always do A levels and college later  in life.
A bit of shop floor experience in a small business like sails will help you understand the worls of work and business, worthwhile even if you end up doing something else.
