Honestly, and I don't mean to be rude here, but I think you're living in a dream world right now. The chances of getting funded at school age or finding the perfect job given the current economic climate are next to nil.
If you can afford to finish school I'd do that. Otherwise I'd take what you can get job wise and ride out the storm (while obviously keeping your eyes open in case you get really lucky and the perfect job comes along).
- Tarks 18y agoI completely agree, which is why I'm looking for neither. I don't think it's too crazy to be looking for a place where I can learn from other people practising the same craft.
- zxcvb 18y agoYou're way to late, good placements are usually gone by April, relying on the careers office was a massive mistake, it's far better to apply to all the big companies around December time. Any later and people like me have already taken the places. Although, at my my Uni right now (London) there are more places available than good students to fill them. Try applying to something in London and move into the city for a year.
- zxcvb 18y agoHe's not living in a dream world. It's easy for a good student to land a job in one of the big companies right now (accenture, ibm, microsoft, campgemini etc) that's what I've just done. The chances of him not being able to afford to finish school are pretty much nill, in the UK the gov pay for pretty much all your University fees and you pay them back over the next 25 years after graduation. This make Uni affordable to most people. The only thing that was right in your enitre post was the face he won't get funded for a business idea. What's happening in the UK right now is very different to whats happening in the US.
