degree apprenticeship

toffuna101

alternatively to open university, ive been thinking about doing a degree apprenticeship since you get paid to work and study at the same time. ive been thinking about doing a solicitor apprenticeship in particular i know those are competitive like most degree apprenticeships.

@toffuna101, thanks for sharing this with us! I sometimes wish that I did an apprenticeship instead of a degree due to the benefit of getting paid work experience. I hear you when you say that a solicitor apprenticeship is quite competitive - how are you feeling about your options? No need to answer right away, please take as much time as you need to figure it out

Keep us in the loop and feel free to reach out whenever

@toffuna101 it is great to hear you are exploring your options.
Main piece of advice from myself:
- Choose something that you will enjoy- a lot of people choose a degree that they did not enjoy and do not end up sticking with it.
- Take TIME to think about what you want to do- do not let anyone influence your decision, remember this is your career path!

I do sometimes wish I did the same, however it really is down to what you prefer and how your work-life balance is.
If you would love to earn some money whilst doing work experience- degree apprenticeship is the one!
