• Question: If for whatever reason you have to chose a different career with only the degrees and skills you have, what job would you feel you would be qualified to have and if you'd enjoy it?

      Hi Brianna,
      A lot of the skills you pick up during a degree are transferable – so you learn a lot about project management, presenting to large audiences, professional writing and so on. I think you can apply those skills to lots of different jobs, although I’m not sure I would enjoy them as much as the one I have now.

      Hi Brianna,

      I think I could be a science or maths teacher quite easily with the skills I have and I think I would enjoy it, although probably not quite as much as I enjoy the job I currently have.

      Best wishes,
      Sophie

      I am actually now doing a completely different type of work for Adobe using my skill set from robotics and it is very interesting project and I am really enjoying it. It is exciting to see how I can apply my skills elsewhere

      I think if you keep your skills very general you can do almost anything! I think the most important thing is having enthusiasm for what you want to do and enjoying yourself!
