It doesn't help I live in a small, poor town with mostly seasonal work. I'll give general labouring a go, I didn't know if I'd need to do an apprenticeship first, so that's good to know.I have considered joining the Navy, I have family who did the same and it worked well for them, as they saved a lot and it's possible to leave with a pension. It seems a decent starting wage (+ potential officer, given my degree) but doesn't appear to have much progression. I have also been told I can learn a trade with them. Any thoughts on this?When I started studying, I thought that I wanted to go on to teach. I was also told I could just 'convert' to law, as Philosophy grads do best in the entry exams. After talking to people working in Law, it seems to be soul-destroying so I want to avoid that. I know of a few people doing similar degrees to me, who are going to work for corporations doing jobs similar to those you listed and also in Finance. They do tend to have more connections coming from good private schools, working good internships during university (as they lived in London, or big cities internationally).I applied for some graduate jobs doing 'Tech Consulting' but the companies stopped hiring temporarily due to corona, so I'm trying to use this time off to get healthier and think more clearly about a career plan. I imagine Tech being the most suitable corporate environment for me if I must take the corporate path. I just think most the major cities in the UK are crappy, and most jobs seem centred in London or somewhere like Manchester/Leeds (apologies if you don't know the UK). I much prefer rural/town life.</blockquote>
