Is University for you? The Uni Guide

hmmm...To go to uni or not to go to uni?

Hey, as you may already know I recently graduated from university. At times I wonder to myself was it really worth it?
Questions you have to ask yourself:
1. What are your reasons for going?
2. What are your future goals?
3. Does your future goals require a degree?
4. Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?
5. Have you prayed about it?
6. Do you believe God has led you to go to this uni?
7. Do you wish to study further and do a postgraduate course in the future?
8. How passionate are you about this course and where do you expect it to take you?

Did you know?
1. There are many successful people who do not have a degree such as Jamal Edward's (SBTV), Coco Chanel and founder of Walt Disney (the list goes on) 
2. Many graduate schemes do not require a specific degree however in some jobs a specific degree is needed, for example, to be a doctor in the UK you need a degree in medicine and surgery etc. So do your research!
3. Many high jobs require a person degree educated

However.....

There are apprenticeships, internships and ways of getting into a job as a trainee and working your way up. Your options are not limited, and what might work for someone else may not work for you. Experience is very vital and is the word a lot of graduates hear when applying for a job. So whatever your decision is do not feel like a failure.

Even though I completed my course I know that it's not an area of work I want to go into. I think it was always my back up plan and really I had a dream of where I wanted to go and that was more in the creative aspect of things. During my time at university however, I joined many societies including performing arts , cheerleading, salsa, Kung -fu etc (not all uni years) yessss a lot of people wondered how I juggled all this and yes it was difficult at times in fact in my third year I had to drop most societies and stick to one!

But being creative has always been part of who I am. I wonder whether if I was able to explore more in my actual gifts more thoroughly would I be far today in the industry? I look back and realise that it was all part of God's plan. University really prepared me not only through the societies I joined but the people I met, the experiences I had. I'm very shy at times and uni really helped mould me as a woman, just moving away from home was such a big deal and it's nice to know that I can actually look after myself well, I've gained so much confidence and strength. I wouldn't change it for the world, otherwise I would never be me, and I'm proud of who I am.
