Hey all, just an update.
So I have been having CBT, counselling and I have been seeing careers advisors. I am still trying to figure out the best solution but I am not quite there yet.
My plan is to stay in the north after I graduate in 2016 and then move to London in 2-3 years. I am willing to live in a flat share but I need to save up money for a deposit. I could get a job now but it would have to be part-time and I doubt I would be able to save up as much money as possible. I am a full-time student with commitments after all.
Another option is to move back down to London and live in a flatshare in a different part of London - it is massive! - but I think I'd rather save money and keep my distance, and as much as I am a Londoner at heart, I am not ready to leave my uni hometown - or uni for that matter!
Also, my plan is to have (any) job lined up prior to graduation, even if it is not my ideal job, just so that I can have money to pay bills, rent, tax, qualifications, etc.
My counsellor suggested going on the dole and claiming housing benefit before getting back on my feet, good idea though I am not sure how this works. I have never lived off benefits in my life.
So what do you think?
