Good advice. Having studied International relations at uni i can offically say it was a waste of 3 years. Any1 looking to go to uni i'd advise you not to go anywhere near useless subjects like;
Sociology
Politics
History
International Relations
and Criminology
to name but a few. Unless you want to go into teaching then you can do a PGCE. Laakin waloyaal DONT WASTE UR TIME AND MONEY DOING DEAD END DEGREES wa khasaro foqol khasaro.
I cant turn back time unfortunetly, it was qadar Allah.
But like the sister is saying do something worthwhile that ur actually gonna get a job in at the end of it. Oh yea and avoid student loans i know its tempting but u wont be laughing when u got 20k debts and no job at the end of it.
Sorry if i offended any1 doing those subjects. But the truth had to be said.
Wish u all the best with ur UCAS applications
Assalaamu alikum wr wb
they are not dead degrees sister the thing is you need to know what career is applicable to your degree.
International relatins is good as there are transferable skills you learned that can be flexible and applicable to various roles whether HR, social services, working in the public service indutry or persuing to become a solicitor.
Criminology too as you can work in Auditing in Finacial Services etc.
Its good You have a degree the thing you need to do is to climb a ladder from the bottom not trying to Jump to reach the top.
