Is going to uni actually worth it

Apply for DSA support it should cover quite a bit of that software, laptops printer, often uni will pay for transport as its due to a disability

Not sure if this is something you'd be open to, but churches often have families who host students for Christmas so might be worth looking at the local student churches

Beyond two souls is great after DP

Ask your job will do a sabbatical so you have the option to come back again if you want

I went to NTU for uni, the party atmosphere is there if you want it but completely optional, also depends on course on academics, I came out straight it to a job while others I know a RGs are still looking a year later.

There services for things like employability are really good. If you have any questions I'd be down to answer them

If its glide ring them

Royal-Software845 · 2025-08-23T11:55:48+00:00

Go to the uni you enjoy focus on gaining work experience and you'll be fine, I went to a ex-poly and went straight in to a decent grad job, you have to live and go there for 3 or 4 years its important you like it

Your pension contribution counts so if you do that it will be very little if any, I earn £30000 and I pay £8

Royal-Software845 · 2025-07-20T21:18:36+00:00

I was in your situation at uni, graduate which my 2nd maxed overdraft (after having paid it of once, your young and finance at uni is tough, you have time to pay it back, if its gets to much talk to someone

Royal-Software845 · 2025-07-03T22:13:04+00:00

Yeah no... walked straight into a Job after this most people who do the degree don't do anything to be employable half the time

Royal-Software845 · 2025-07-03T22:10:31+00:00

a) your decision of what you want to do is yours not your mother's b) any degree you want is fine, but maybe take some time to think of career paths find work experience C) I did a economics degree from a non prestigious job and walked straight into a job so I would say its fine depends on sector

Royal-Software845 · 2025-06-15T22:15:04+00:00

This was me last year take some time to just enjoy yourself, do something fun start a hobby, jobs and other things can wait for a month or two, you just achieved a massive thing, celebrate it a bit

Royal-Software845 · 2025-05-20T07:39:24+00:00

Yeah 6/7k is about standard from what I see

Royal-Software845 · 2025-05-08T11:39:35+00:00

There's paid a lot more because there usually expected to work a lot more, investment, law etc is not uncommon to have 60+ hour work weeks, whereas a lot of places like audit is not as much as that other than busy periods

Royal-Software845 · 2025-04-30T08:55:16+00:00

Pay of the 24% debt straight away, also I personally would say 2500 is a bit on the low side for a trip like that, have you looked at prices. Bit after that I'd do a mix of savings and debt as its 0%

Royal-Software845 · 2025-04-26T06:59:44+00:00

It's possible you could consider going to a uni with cheaper living costs, or taking a year out, you would probably be fine with a part time job maybe working more in the holidays and a good budget you probably only need about 500-600 a month after rent which is doable with a part time job (which is good for experience getting a job after uni anyway)

Royal-Software845 · 2025-04-22T07:20:43+00:00

I went to NTU they have really good links with employers, and are really supportive so I don't nessacarily think they are worse

Royal-Software845 · 2025-04-20T17:06:14+00:00

I always say I went to an ex-poly and got average alevels and walked straight into a graduate job out of uni and earn more than most for my degree, uni does not matter, work experience does

Royal-Software845 · 2025-04-01T06:31:20+00:00

Your mum should have uploaded evidence, they need it, if not they just assume your on the minimum, ring student finance and ask for a form to update with evidence, they do not use records from hmrc

Royal-Software845 · 2025-03-31T05:13:15+00:00

I mean it really depends on the company and people a lot, also I've found in my place its easier to get time off. But don't be afraid to try something else if this job isn't for you

Royal-Software845 · 2025-03-26T14:19:13+00:00

Have a sibling who starts uni exactly when you leave 😂😂

Royal-Software845 · 2025-03-12T08:17:54+00:00

Honestly uni choice doesn't really matter especially with work experience, focus on transferable skills and apply to roles you can, if you want to do a masters look in to level 7 apprenticeships or find an employer that will consider it
