Hi all,
Looking for a bit of advice.
I started an apprenticeship at 17 and gained a HNC in an engineering discipline before starting my career properly.
However about 2 or 3 years ago the rot set in and I become bored with the job, mainly due to shifts, long down time, middle management and basically a lack of interest in the field.
I left my job and am currently taxying until hopefully gaining acceptance into college or university depending on what it is I would like to do.
However, I have no idea how a HNC is taken into consideration when applying to university. My main subjects of interest are physiotherapy, computer networking, and teaching (mainly either primary or secondary technical). I know thats a broad range of subjects, but I intend on taking the next few months to really figure out what it is I want to do before committing. The last thing I want is another career where I don't enjoy what I do.
Any advice/help would be great. I've already booked onto uni open days and am visiting drop in centres in colleges in the area this week but I would like some input from students who have experience with a career change.
