Uni Mythbusters: The degree you choose dictates your career path
The belief that a degree locks you into a specific career is a myth in today’s versatile job market. Modern careers often value transferable skills—like critical thinking and adaptability—over specific academic backgrounds.
This shift means that graduates can explore varied roles, often unrelated to their degrees. Whether it’s a humanities graduate in tech or an engineer in finance, the stories of successful transitions are testament to the flexibility of the job market. Continuous learning opportunities further enable individuals to pivot careers, proving that it’s one's skills and the ability to learn that truly dictate their career path, not just their degree.
