After finishing my studies, I did work experience at Lloyd Dowson which was very beneficial. I enrolled onto the AAT college course at the East Riding College. I was offered a job/studying career at Lloyd Dowson. I am now only a few exams away from finishing my AAT. It’s a great way to start a career as things I learn in my studies help me at work and jobs at work help me with my studies so it’s a win-win situation. The school productions were my all-time favourite getting involved with, Our House, Little Shop of Horrors and Grease was amazing! I enjoyed the ability to share my love for music and performing. University is not always the best route for everyone, keep your options open as there may be other opportunities to grasp closer to home. Sometimes to get a broader picture of availability in careers you need to look locally. There are many local businesses in the area who offer good career prospects.
