Uni starts again next week and I am curled up in the fetal position, frantically scrolling through Seek for any job. Ideally, I want to give something in my field of study a go, so I'm looking around at that. But there's the whole grass is greener thing. I shall sit with this uncertainty.
Part of me is considering starting a whole new bachelor degree, which isn't the most viable option right now. It is so tempting though to do a complete 180.
I get that uni is a stressful prospect, but starting is new degree is NOT an efficient stress release mechanism. I'm serious - you need to finish the one you're doing and THEN consider doing another. Waggles finger in rebuke.
Thanks. To make matters worse, I already have a degree that I haven't really used, and is pretty useless on its own.
You’re studying education, aren’t you? Maybe you could get work as an education support worker at a school or something like that? You could probably contact schools directly to ask, and since you’re doing a related course that should help
Yes, I'm looking into it now! Cheers :)
