Decided to do it. When you trained did you get an apprenticeship or go into becoming an electricians mate right away? Btw can you leave a links so I can check out your company website if you don't mind?
Are you going for undergrad or masters? Also, is it for electronic engineering or something like product design? Let us know. Also would anyone here recommend being a health and safety advisor on a construction site?
Lol I'm actually a law school drop out :P Quit 3 months in at a top law school. Loved my a level in law, hated doing the degree. Fashion school has been way better but I don't want to work in the industry. What company are/were you an apprentice with if you don't mind saying?
Thanks for the suggestion, but I was thinking about contacting some sort of niche arts electrical company later on. I'll figure it out once I'm on the course.

Seriously it depends. My cousin went to law school and is now a property lawyer but the pay is only around 30k and this is after so many years of being one.
Truthfully, I think my degree was a waste of time. I followed the whole do what you love and it'd be like you never had to work in your life -------- and after interning in my second year I knew I would never work in the industry. I went through a number of internships and internship interviews...
Honestly, I thought that learning a trade would be better than going to graduate school at the moment. I wanted to learn a hands on skill and I looked into the trades. If I had to pick one I would pick being an electrician. I just don't want to have an office job which would require sitting at a...
