Dd in Year 12, is starting her personal statement, UCAS application etc but she has no idea what she wants to study at uni nor what she would like to do beyond uni. She is doing economics, textiles and psychology for A level and loves them all. She's a mad keen hockey player so that's an important factor. Can anyone advise where to start please as I'm at a loss.

There are many many degrees that lead to a job but they are not vocational degrees. My DD is a barrister but didn’t study law at undergrad. Plenty of people study History, Psychology and other academic courses but don’t expect to work in those fields. It’s a shame she cannot find anything she’s interested in.

A gap year might be pretty dull in 2021. We don’t know what opportunities might, or might not, be out there. Has she really got no interests or hobbies that she wishes to follow up at degree level? You mentioned hockey. There are loads of sports affiliated degrees. Have you looked at Loughborough? Sports management type degrees?
