DC is in the very fortunate position of having been offered a degree apprenticeship and holding an unconditional offer for a Uni place. Both at the same Uni, same qualification.
Obviously pros and cons to both; apprenticeship obviously there's no student debt, and earnings for the next four years - but having done the advanced apprenticeship DC knows it's a hard way of doing it, working full time and studying. To go to Uni would mean making friends, societies, being independent - but with a huge debt at the end of 3 years... which might not be paid back.
Obviously added to that is the thought that it might not be a normal Uni experience this year either.
DC spoke to the Head of Faculty for advice, and she agreed it was a fabulous position to be in, but had no advice one way or the other!
