Not going to uni

[Tiscold]

Hi all just wondering what everyone elses son or daughters are doing if they have decided not to go to uni.

Son is doing btec applied science and a level history and has no clue yet

Bump

DS didn't want to go to Uni, he did a trade and now has his own business.

One of my dd's didn't go to uni for a few years. She danced ballet professionally. She still does but the opportunity arose to go and so she did alongside ballet and she took it. She now has a degree in statistics but I doubt she will ever use it. As long as they have a plan I don't think they need to go to university.

Another one of mine is only at university because she didn't have a plan and Dh and I were not paying for her to piss around doing nothing. But her grades reflect this and her degree will be pretty much next to useless if we didn't own the company she will go into upon graduation.

Interesting to hear, my son isn't very tradey 😂😂, and has no clue but i don't see the point in going to uni if you don't know what you want to do otherwise it's 9k a year down the drain.

8 years before my son has to think about this but I'm with you on this. I rather he bum around travelling for a year and think about what he would like to do than go to Uni for the sake of it.

Obviously if he has a passion about something at 18 I'll support whatever he wants to do. But cost is do high these days.

Agreed, no point picking a degree you don't want to do and then stuck for 3 years and in debt.

Hopefully he doesn't bum around but I'm happy for him to save and travel. I'm just a bit worried as he has no idea at all what he wants
