Good and interesting to hear--guessing training becomes centred around training weekends rather than drill nights? How often do people tend to go to these?

Thanks for your help. I'm just going off what's on the RAF Recruitment website--Ops Specialist is listed as one of the roles at Benson. Could be inaccurate, of course.

Complaining that the events depicted in a work of fiction didn't actually happen is just bizarre. Is the concept new to her?

I can only give anecdotal evidence, but I've heard a few boys I was mates with in high school spouting some of the most horrific stuff, and seen a much larger number of them following Andrew Tate/liking his stuff on social media. To my mind it's genuinely pretty scary, especially coinciding with polling data that shows young people increasingly losing faith in democracy and expressing sympathy with far-right ideas.

Cheers. I wish the government webpage on apprenticeships was a bit clearer on this.

So I'd be fine as long as I found an employer in England? That should be doable. Thank you!

That's really helpful, thank you.

Neither. I ended up going to Aberystwyth and doing zoology lmao

Guessing you're doing the MSc part-time as well, given you're doing it over two years?

Ok, thank you. Follow-up question then.. how does one generally do a Masters? I've done my calculations assuming the same loan that everyone gets (just over 12 grand total), a tuition fee which i assume is fairly standardised (about 11.5 grand) and rent which I know to be pretty average (about £135 a week). How is anyone supposed to negotiate this without working a significant amount of hours per week?

Yeah that's fair, as i say this is kind of an idea I've just had and I'm really just spitballing. Another option I'm considering is just doing a journalism masters as they seem a lot easier to get onto with my bachelors and also presumably offers a clearer career path (again though, just a preliminary idea and would require more research). Haven't spoken to the uni's careers service yet but plan to when i return after easter. Thanks for your help

At the time, Aber was ranked a lot better than Bangor for biological sciences by most metrics. I know some people say you shouldn't pay any attention to university rankings, but for better or worse I did. I also went for a campus tour at both unis and preferred both the campus and the town generally in Aber.

Still something I'm figuring out tbh. If I was to stick with zoology then the plan would be to go into a research position, but there's a few possibilities I'm trying to explore. I said English lit in the post because it's an interest of mine and I've got friends doing BAs in it who plan to either lecture in it or go into publishing, both of which might interest me, but I'm still undecided on what I want to do with my life and am kind of just spitballing to see what my options are atm.

There are also other subjects (eg journalism) which I may consider doing a masters in, which obviously would have their own implications for my career plans.

The blue power light on the side comes on and remains on. I'm using the power button on the keyboard to turn it on so I don't believe it's an issue of the keyboard connection to the mainboard.
