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

Cardiff...

Ok it's my insurance choice for Economics. Though I don't plan on having to use it I was wondering what the lowdown on its reputation in the employment world is.

Basically I'm currently thinking if I miss my 1st choice (Nottingham) by some ****up would I be better off at Cardiff or reapplying next year? Thoughts and information appreciated!
