Or would you study at all? Would you go to uni ? Would you consider money as in what salaries might be in the industry or would you follow your passion ?

Zoology with Primatology - I have always been fascinated by Great Apes and would have loved to work in that field. Far more interesting that teaching - although at times I can see parallels Grin

I might’ve been bolder with my MDL degree and done Russian and Arabic instead of boring old French.

Data analytics or something related to AI. More kids should be encouraged to do stem subjects. Too many Mickey Mouse degrees like media studies around.

Architecture or Architectural technology - still thinking about doing a master's in the latter, but I doth procrastinate too much.

I did a degree in the Arts which came to nothing & I deeply regret it. I have been stuck in Admins jobs since.

I wish I had got an apprenticeship in hairdressing and gone on to have my own fab salon. Instead I went to university and eventually after a good few years raising kids, I became a secondary school teacher. It drained the life out of me even though I was promoted and always had great feedback on lesson observations. I'm glad I was able to afford not to have to do it and now I don't do any paid work. When the pandemic eases I'm going to volunteer in a school to help students with literacy and in the field in which I trained.
