I think the phrase that fits this well is "it is better to climb a ladder from the bottom rung than get start off in the middle and get stuck" I know as soon as I leave uni I may not get a job in my field for 2-3 years, even then it would be a menial low grade job paying minimum wage, but I also know that in 10 years I will make something of that job and I will be rolling in money and I'm sure you're in the same boat as me. It is better than if I just left with my A-levels, got some job as a chemists assisstant or something and do that for the rest of my career. Uni is the starting block that allows you to climb the career ladder. BTW, what are you studying and where? |
Couldn't you have gone into that same minimum wage job and worked your way up without doing a degree?
Sociology. I put on my CV Plymouth as that's where I'm graduating from. I've been to three unis (Cambridge (hated it), Goldsmiths (got sick of the racial abuse I was receiving) and Plymouth) but obviously don't put that on application forms! Fortunately I could just transfer between the three so my degree's only taking me the three years it's supposed to.
I'm applying for everything I'm qualified to do so I don't think I'm over restricting myself either.
