Hi Year 12s :biggrin:

As you start thinking about your future, there are many paths to consider, and, as apprenticeships and degree apprenticeships enable you the chance to earn, learn, and gain qualifications at the same time, some of you might be considering one of these as a contender for your next steps, or you might be thinking about embarking on something completely different!

We'd like to know - What are the alternative options to university that you're considering for your next move after school and if you're not considering any of these, what's holding you back?

I think for me, graduating from a top university would probably set me in a better place income-wise for longer - and student debt isn’t really ‘debt’ so I’m not too fussed about that loss.

Good you are set on your pathway, for some people, vocational learning would suit them better! No right or wrong answer, just interesting to hear 🙂

Yep just my two cents!

Still not sure exactly what/where I want to study so still a lot to figure out… Just ideas I guess.

In what I'm interested in there aren't many apprenticeships/degree apprenticeships if any at all.
