Still relevant when applying to the better universities out there.
Relevant only if you have the "perfect scores" for niche degrees in the industries that you aim to go.
If cannot get into local universities, prepare for funds to go overseas which may not have the funds, or re-apply to get local polytecnic diplomas, if you do not mind 2 years "wasted"
If not, most junior colleges should be converted to local polytechnics or through- train secondary schools that offers IB/"A" levels. Anyway, A levels can be passed at "AO" lvls standard without the need to take only subjects at 'A" lvls but offered industry certified Accounting/Real Estate Salesperson Theory Licence, etc for example.
Anyway, if ancestors got business, just take over their business, dunnid to study
