Should I apply to uni or wait till clearing?

I’m in a predicament whether I should apply to university like everyone else or should I apply for a degree apprenticeship and put all my time on that and then apply for clearing if I don’t get into an apprenticeship bc I don’t wanna put half of my energy on two things at once if you get that I don’t even wanna go to uni I’ll be honest but I do need a plan b!

if you don't want to go to uni then applying through clearing isn't a great plan B.

Have you applied to any apprenticeships yet? What career do you want to go into?

Yeah it isn’t I wanna be tunnel visioned to a degree apprenticeship that’s genuinely my goal but I don’t wanna put myself in a situation where I’ll regret it bc of getting rejected. So far I’ve applied and been rejected lol to quite literally all of them
I applied to crowe recently just waiting on a reply and I wanna get into a role in either tech or finance

I would also like to preface I’m a retake so I can’t do a gap year

Apply to both? I applied to Uni as a backup, and then applied to as many degree apprenticeships I could find. Once I got accepted into one, I cancelled my ucas
