Why do you want to go to university?

To follow my career path

For the love of my subject

A degree equates to success

To get a good job requires a degree

For the social life

It gives me another 3 years before I have to make a life choice

My parents want me to go I am not ready for work My school expects me to go

“Want to experience the social life”

The Socialites

The Climbers

There are lots of good apprenticeships

There are lots of good school leaver schemes
