Everyone is off to university now, I'm still looking for a job in something I love doing but in the meantime, I'm shift working at the local pub/restaurant. I never really get to see my family as we cross paths everyday and that's also something Id like to change in my future career.
Since doing GCSE's, I made the decision not to go to uni, and this was confirmed when I started my A Levels. Most of the teachers at my sixth form college were very much up for universities and would drill it into your head at any given opportunity. Now I've seen what my peers are going to study, I am 100% happy with my decision not to go (yet!!). I am very jealous of the places they're going and and the friends they'll make, but in 3 or 4 years time they'll come back home with a degree, a £50,000+ debt and no job.
I feel that in this day, experience is key. I've heard many times of people going to interviews and hearing "yes you have a degree, but show us that you can do it".
I feel that setting goals in the key to planning your future. I want to have a secure job and be moved out by the end of November this year. But if this fails, and I still haven't got a job by next year, I will have to apply for uni. Not for the safety of a degree, but to add to my long list of experiences.
Hopefully everything will start to look up now, and I will get to finally be in a job and an area that I am truly happy in.
