Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Is uni better than a job or apprenticeship?

Is uni worth it? In the four years of uni you could have earned like 60k in a job in total.

It honestly depends on the individual and what kind of career you want to get into but all are valid options that should be considered :smile:

Well if you want a certain career then having a degree will help.

one of the ones I applied for said you do the apprenticeship and you can go to uni after and they'll support you but you need to work for them for a few years after or something

Well, it depends on what you want to be. If you want to be a doctor or a lawyer, uni it is. If you want to be an actor or a police officer, uni is not necessary

It depends on the degree you're pursuing, the apprenticeship, and your desired career path.

If you're looking to become a lawyer and you have a law offer from Cambridge, it's probably not the best idea to become an apprentice at Poundland.
