Apprenticeships after graduation?

I'm graduating in a few months and I'm figuring out what job to go on to. I want to do a masters but I'm waiting since I'm not fully decided yet on what exactly I want to study. My undergrad is in Asian studies but I want to be a child therapist later down the line and got myself some work experience as a nursery assistant to start me off this year. Now I'm looking for an appropriate graduate role, and since my degree leaves me without a specific qualification, I'm trying to figure out what route to take. If I do an apprenticeship, should I go straight into level 3 or do level 2 first? Does anyone have experience of doing an apprenticeship after graduation, especially in childcare?

Why don’t you do a masters degree in counselling? Then you don’t need to do an apprenticeship, since you already have a degree. Then you can go into the NHS to do this as a graduate.

What do you mean your degree leaves you without a specific qualification? Won't you come out with a degree in Asian studies? A Level 3 apprenticeship is equal to 2 A-levels so doesn't make sense to me at all after doing a degree. Why don't you do a PGCE if you want to work with kids?

I mean that I don't have a career I'm qualified to go straight into like some other courses, so unless I study more, I'll have to do a generic graduate role (and I have no clue what lol). I can't really afford graduate study so I'd have to do part time and work, and in terms of PGCE specifically I don't want to be a primary school teacher 😂 It sounds way too hard lol. My thinking was I'd have relevant experience with kids for a counselling or therapy course but I'd also be getting paid and I'd have the nursing qualification under my belt

I’m still a bit confused why you did an Asian studies degree if you want to go into something completely unrelated though. There isn’t much point in getting a degree for it to be unused, would you not want to go into something history related?

As the user above mentioned, it’s like going back to A Level equivalent, what’s the point in that?

I think you’d be much better in going on to do something with your degree or do the next step to possibly become a teacher with kids, or go into the NHS to work with kids, as they accept graduates of all various degrees quite often.
