after college instead of going down a degree apprenticeship ive been thinking about working in an estate agent, not only because of the money but because of the job progression that comes with it. if you remember from my previous posts i wanted to be a youth support worker or a probation officer, but now i dont want to do either of those jobs because i simply changed my mind. i could start as a trainee and work my way upwards to become a mortgage broker which is the main job that i want to do. there a lot of estate agents around locally, therefore i could just work there in the future. my future looks bright honestly.

    @toffuna101 the cool thing about degree apprenticeships is that you can go in for them at any age. It does become a little harder after 24 admittedly, but you can do them at any age. So there's plenty of flexibility about career choice when your a young adult and which path you take. And people often change careers in life. So don't ever think that if you go for something now or go down a certain path now, you can't change path later.

    If you think this is the best path for you, go for it, and fight for it. You'll get where you want to be eventually, so good luck. You've already overcome a huge amount, you'll succeed with this too.
