25: "To What Degree..." Graduate Takeover!

Our Season 3 Finale! With, of course, another takeover (how could we resist?) This time, we ask graduates to discuss 'To What Degree...' do they actually use their degree? Be it book-to-book or not at all, we are here to challenge some limiting mindsets! Thank you to Sunny, Molly, Sophie, Jameel, Leanne, Oliver, Lucy, Livi, Sam, Cecilie & Claudia.  * In graduate world, there are often conversations surrounding how, why and when our degree shows up. Although many believe studying was a highly beneficial experience, there are often circulating phrases such as 'I paid £30,000 for a piece of paper' or 'I can't remember anything from my lectures'...! It is also tough when you don't have a clear career trajectory, have a interest or career change since being 18 or even feel like you have to pursue something specific due to stereotypes stereotypes. From these 11 wonderful people, we hear so many stories, ideas and insights which we sure will resonate with you as listeners! An English student who now teaches in STEM, music and events enthusiasts, vocational degree seekers, joint honours grads...and many more. These inspirational contributors explore links between their day-to-day and studies and give great advice on how to look back on your degree with a positive attitude, and take steps using it.  Stay up to date on our socials for our 1 year anniversary celebrations and surprises, and we'll be back in a few weeks with Season 4! * Grad Life by the Horns is a podcast covering every element of graduate life.
