Alternatives to university?

[Smits]

I'm just thinking about what i'm going to do after college and was wonderign qhat alternatives to going to university would be?

Baring in mind i've established i want to go into marketing of some kind

[Alkaz]

I dont think there is any other alternatives apart from like a foundation degree which can be at most colleges. Apart from that all I can think of is open university (i think) where you learn just at home etc.

you can try for an apprenticeship at a marketing firm, like a junior or something like that lol

Yeah i think apprenticeship would be the best next option, i'm not saying i dont want to or won't go to uni, i'm just lookingh at the options.

lol i know this probs wont help you if you're thinking about going into marketing, but i'm in my second year and going in the RAF afterwards, don't fancy uni. why don't you look for a job or an apprenticeship in marketing?

become a tea boy at Goldman Sachs, and work your way up.

what sort of marketing? investment banking? selling fruits on a sunday market?

I'm a bit late here, but I used this website to get my apprenticeship:

https://apprenticeshipvacancymatchingservice.lsc.gov.uk/navms/Forms/Candidate/VisitorLanding.aspx

It's government run and it just basically searches for appprenticeships in the area you want and in your region. It's actually really good because it allows you to apply and track the progress of your application.

If not, i'm also doing the Open University in February and it's free fees if you yourself earn less than 15k a year, they offer loads of different degrees and you can do an apprenticeship and the degree at the same time :)
