Choosing your future career path…
Which Career?
In a survey for the consumer group Which?, 28% of more than 1,000 UK 18-19 year-old university applicants said they wished they had chosen different subjects, while 41% wished they had considered which subjects would be of most use.
Only half felt well enough informed at school about how the subjects they had studied could affect their choice of degree and university. 30% complained the advice they had received had failed to warn them of the impact choices made at 16 could have on their future prospects.
Which? University has launched an Explorer tool to help 16-year-olds and their teachers explore options.
