Bit different up here sparkle.....they don't pay tuition fees, which makes a huge difference. There is still the loan though but that is tiny compared to English students.
My DD is a wonderful artist and applied to Glasgow School of Art. Basically unless she was an overseas student she didn't stand even a little chance. They take 10% British students and the rest are not from this country....all down to money.
She is now doing primarily a business degree with a bit of fashion thrown in. It's quite specific so how getting a job will go....who knows. Hence the teaching thought. She is still very young and will only be 21 when she graduates.
Jobs up here for young ones without qualifications are thin on the ground.
She asked me if she could take a gap year....umm....nope
It's finding what they are interested in whether it's straight out of school or not.
I think there should be a lot more courses for kids that are not particularly academic. They have a huge amount to offer......even to be a nurse these days you need a degree....now that's wrong in my opinion.
