Episode 97 Should I go to university or not?
In this episode I spoke about should you go to university or not. This Episode is specifically targeted towards parents who have a teenager aged 13-18.
As a previous school careers adviser and someone who still works with some parents this is a topic that comes up a lot with parents who are really worried about their child's future.
In this episode, I explored the following:
1. Why this topic is so important especially post-pandemic
2. University vs non-university
3. The different options available to a young person
4. Apprenticeships and how they can support your career
5. The benefits of going to university
6. The future after your degree or apprenticeship
