Do you even know what you’re doing after graduation?

Now is the time to panic

Some students are lucky in the sense that they actually loved their degree. They really enjoyed every lecture and have successfully secured a full time job for September in a position remotely related to their degree.

Those bastards.

But as term time comes to an end and the summer holidays fast approach, its time for this year’s final year students to think about what the hell we are going to do this September. So what are our options? Masters? PhD? PGCE? Travel? Straight into a grad job or the local Tesco’s? Most of us haven’t got a clue and the thought of the first September in 21 years with nothing to do scares the hell out of us.

But with pressures from nagging parents and judgmental questions from over-achievers we know from secondary school, maybe it’s time to decide.

Moya Bradley, Third year Geography
