ICT maybe some office jobs of support etc
Engineering maybe structures, electronics maybe

go for something with a guaranteed job at the end of it if posible mate, i did aerospace engineering for 3 years purely because it seemed like something worthwhile doing etc but getting a career in it is harder than i thought. id have been better off going for an aprentiship basiclly.

I did Maths, Physics and Technology at A'level and went on to do a Mechanical Engineering Degree at Loughborough. I've worked at Kodak as a process engineer and Energy Manager. Since then I've been doing consultancy but yesterday I found out I've just landed a new job with massive pay rise and package. I'll post more later when the official paperwork gets here as it could mean the end of the cossie 
When I heard I went out and bought a load of porsche magazines. I got home and the wife had bought a load of the property papers
Degree is way forward if you want to work for a good company. Trade if you want to end up working for yourself I'd say.

Im thinking of getting into the electronics trade, i take it theres money in 'um and thats what i'm after really. I just need to get an apprenticship with a good company, i'll still have to go to college twice a week though.
I also want a car! Student loans - Avoid or go for it?
