I see, so what job did you end up getting after graduation? And did you know exactly what job you wanted afterwards?
My boyfriend's uncle dropped out of his maths degree at Exeter and went to Norway to become a goat farmer. You could consider it.
study a nursing pathway on nhs? do lab work? find a role in health care? i m studying 'art' so my advice is shady to say the least. :coma:

No, I just applied to a bundle of grad schemes and took the first one that accepted me.

I have done a few things, tried a museum technician apprenticeship, but unfortunately left prior to completion due to injury. I have worked in face to face customer service roles, motorway services. I and worked in ware house type jobs.


Sound like a jack of all trades.
Take on a degree level course in something you enjoy, even if its through the open university. You could instead do job specific training if you're really sure of what you fancy.
Going have to pick something to commit yourself to some day :P
Any sectors you find particularly interesting, or have any personal aims? i.e. office job, active, humanitarian, research, public/private/charity sects etc.?

PS I can really recommend the Prospects planner - was spot on for my prospective suited career options/paths.

You give an inferential tool your preferences regarding all the facets involved in choosing a career path, and it spits out those best fitting.
When I did it, it came out with all of my past tentative career choices, my current one, and the one I'm going for with relatively high accuracy (particularly what I wanted to do when I was younger).
