what good is a degree – know the issues « Casey Careers Consultancy

You may have a good idea what you’re going for but have you thought everything through, the why? Remember to consider the following:

What’s influencing you choice, how do you like to learn? Are you more;

For the Joy of Learning or for learning focused on the Job/Career
If you’d mostly prefer those on the left it might indicate a broad open ended course or would you be best suited to those on the right with a definite more practical or professional qualification

Don’t forget to consider other things like;

Does the course include an internship or period of work experience and, what will you get from it
What specific degree outcomes are available
Will you have to do further studies or a postgrad course to make yourself employable
If so what are the most likely pg options and what grade of degree is required
On completion what specific career paths are open to you

Tease out these issues, talk them over and you’ll make a better choice.
