I gotta say Im in uni, but I also work for tesco 3 nights a week, the possibilities are endless and as for the people who dont get a job at the end of their uni, well usually, not always but thats due to the fact they dont try hard enough for what they want or uni put them off. I want to be in motorsport and when I have finished my degree I will go on to do my masters to make sure I can do that, but if all fails then Tesco will do alsorts for me when I get my degree and will probably fast track up the ladder, as once you get past manager the pay is pretty good, saying that I make 500+ a month takehome which aint bad for a student.
at the end of the day like the other guys have said it really comes down to what you wanna do, but the possibilities are endless.
