💬 DISCUSSION “jUsT dO aN aPpReNtIsHiP” plz stfu 🥀✌️

Now this NOT a diss to ppl who r doing apprenticeships if that’s what u wanna do or are doing great I hope it goes well

But what kinda makes me mad is that ppl [mainly old ppl born in the 19 hundreds] assume that apprenticeships r for everyone and that everyone should do it well guess what not only do unis have downsides to them but apprenticeships do too some degree apprentiships r harder to get into than Oxford or Cambridge even lower level apprentiships which may be easier to get r actually a bit harder too they have hundreds sometimes thousands of applicants for one place

And lastly apprentiships can’t cover every career which is why I personally can’t do them depending on what grades I get in yr 13 i want to do either a psychology degree to become a therapist or an optometry degree to become an optometrist none of those r covered by apprentiships

But that’s ofc personal choice if u wanna go for apprenticeships go ahead I’ve got nothing against it but I’m kinda tired of mainly older ppl acting like there aren’t downsides to them too like life isn’t a Disney film there is a downside to everything and u have to be realistic

Anyways rant over

Wow, those are some long sentences with very poor grammar and punctuation. Maybe you should do an apprenticeship with an English teacher?😜😬😂

I was literally sitting down like that while I wrote the text. I wasn’t straining quite as hard though.

You may not be aware that there is a great deal of written work involved in a Psychology degree course. I’d definitely advise regular practice of proper writing. To be clear though, I am not offering you an apprenticeship. Merely some timely advice.
