What did you do afterwards?
How long did it take for you to get a job?
I'm proper confused right now, don't know what field I want to go in. I'd be happy with a part time job in retail :S

Look... its very simple.
Your choices are limited to the following:
1. Be a Doctor
2. A Lawyer
3. Teacher
4. Or a Drug dealer...
Its your choice.

I did a full-time postgrad degree after my BA. And I worked part-time in an unrelated area too.
Don't know if it was worth it yet.
It may have have been better to do the post-grad part-time and get a job in a related area.

go into teaching, almost everyone i know has. At least you will be guaranteed a job at the end of it. If you cant get a job here then you can always go abroad. My sister’s mate did business management and I.T. then went on and did a PGCE and is now teaching some rich kids in Qatar where they have given her a house and she gets paid more then the teachers do in the UK.

Alisha,
During my third year (semester A) of my undergraduate degree I applied for the PGCE, and seven months before I completed my PGCE I started applying for jobs - which I had secured months before I completed my course.
Thats cos teaching was the only thing I wanted to get into - however, I would strongly advise against going into teaching unless your passionate about this career...LOADS of people failed or dropped out of the PGCE in my Uni this year (and as well as other training providers throughout the UK) as its a really full on course.
And if you fail your PGCE no training provider will ever allow you to go through the course again.
The interview for the course is stressful (you need to sit three exams, prepare a mock lesson in front of the panel and are grilled for 30min about your interest in teaching).
In the PGCE you need to be on placement from 7am in the morning till 6pm in the evening, your teaching is observed by nitpicking mentors and professers from Uni.....in the evenings you need to focus on preparing detailed lesson plans, keeping on top of numerous task files...revising and preparing for 6 exams (pass rate is 100% for most of the exams)....and six 3000 word assigments...and attending lectures from 8am to 6pm when you're not on placement...
You will lose weight. You wont have time for family or have a social life for those 9months.
So, its only your passion that can get you through the course.
However, teaching as a career has its benefits.
I'm in school by 8.15 and leave by 3.30. I never take work home. I enjoy my 13week a year paid holidays....and most teachers I know (who've only been teaching for a couple of years), are on 30K a year (before tax of course).

www.prospects.co.uk is crap…..well i think it is anyway. Your better off going to see your careers advisor at uni (one that specifically deals with your course), they will tell you where to look. Most companies tend to place their ads in the uni careers section.

Welll that sorts it not goin into teaching
My SIL is a teacher, and my sis may go into teaching, I dont think its for me. I dont know, I'm not career minded anymore :S when I was younger I wanted to be a solicitor but school career advisor put me off it.
7am-6pm I wouldnt be able to cope with that.
