UK employment opportunities?
So I'm studying for a BMus honours degree at the moment, and I'm predicted a 1:1, distinction possible. But I really don't want to embark on music as a career. Arrogance aside, I'm very good at it, but to embark on a career in it is to admit a love of it that will be lifelong and obsessive - this is something that I don't have.
So recently I've been searching on websites for info on being employed as basically anything but a musician, with the background of having a 1:1 honours degree plus semi-decent high school grades (Standard grades - 1s in music, biology, maths, french, english. 2s in art and history. Highers - As in English, Music, French. Bs in Biology and Maths. Didn't do advanced highers as I left at the end of 5th year).
So far I've even applied (semi-seriously) for a trainee air traffic controller post(which I'll probably get rejected for anyway). Thing is, I'd love to study another degree, but in the current economic climate this is not something that's a financially viable option - and my parents are far from being able to support me on the course of a second degree.
So, has anyone from the uk got any ideas re jobs for graduates with that kinda background?
Or even jobs for people with those marks, without the degree.
When I say jobs I mean jobs, but also like trainee courses like the one aforementioned.Last edited by Sheebay; 08-08-2010 at 08:34 AM.
