'I do Law so I must be a lawyer'.<br/>'I study English, so I'll definitely go into journalism or teaching'.<br/>'I'm learning Economics, so I'll be a banker'.<br/><br/>Many people seem to forget that the degree you choose can lend you a fluid, not pre-determined career path. Yes, if you are studying Medicine, Dentistry or Veterinary Science, it's pretty clear that you're going to be a doctor, dentist or vet (otherwise university will be a bit of a waste of time and money for you!) however for other courses like performing arts, languages or sciences, the path you take after university is far less pre-determined.<br/><br/>Many non-Law students choose to take a law conversion course when they graduate, qualifying to be lawyers after they have received their degree and many people who study Biology end up working in the media (fact). It's really important to remember that unless you are studying one of the courses listed in the paragraph above, your career is flexible and you should feel no impulse to apply for certain jobs just because of what the other people on your course are doing.<br/><br/>Of course, there will be tendencies for people on the same course to apply for similar jobs, for example it is more likely that Maths students will work as problem solvers in bank firms than Politics graduates, however there will ALWAYS be exceptions to the rule. When deciding on your career, do not be swayed by the degree you've chosen or what your friends are doing - as cliché as it sounds, you must follow your heart and do what you know you'd enjoy and think you'd be good at.<br/><br/>With help with deciding your career, make sure to check your university careers page, as there are guaranteed to be plenty of events that may be useful. Often these sorts of events are poorly advertised to try and check as regularly as you can.<br/>
