Given your major, I think the best course of action would be to stick, at this point, with academia and look into graduate and doctoral studies. Of course it is a long process, but you might land a tenured job as a professor.
I don't know about england, but here in Quebec, Canada, many professors will be retiring in the next 5-10 years. If that is the case in the UK, then I can see why your advisors guided you towards such a program. Surely, they saw a potential in you to be a strong mind in that field.
I wish you goodluck though in whatever path you chose as I know how hard starting a professional career is.
