What do you enjoy doing?
Apart from setting you up with the right qualifications, there’s another advantage to studying something vaguely appropriate to what you might want to do with the rest of your life: it’s a free sample.
If you don’t enjoy three years of an engineering degree, you’re sure-as-hell not going to enjoy spending the next 35 years as an engineer.
So, if your future’s not yet set in stone, the most important element of your course is that you enjoy it. It’s one thing to study three A Levels for two years — it’s another to study the same degree subject for three.
Remember, one in seven students flunks. There are as many reasons why as there are students who drop out, but it’s no help if you find your course about as much fun as a chilli enema.
