Cheltenham: No, I sort of know I want to get in the sport industry, just trying to decide and have a few options of which road to take, more general coaching a course that teaches you high performance coaching or community coaching and gives you a 48 week work placement if you want it which I'm sure helps in the future. Or go down towards a more P.E route.

I've got about 3/4 courses in mind and going to go to a few open days over coming things to see which will be my first choice.

Are there statistics on the net anywhere of like how many people get a job because of their degree or in that area of what they studied for? It'd be interesting to know.

I still think a fair few people go to Uni for the sake of it, to be honest, I am really but you only live once and all that. I've got plenty of years of my life to waste doing most likely a boring job might as well do something interesting while I'm young.

I do - but out of those I'm still in contact with who I graduated with, I'm the only one. Most have gone into teaching or post graduate study.

What do you do may I ask?

Does anyone know how easy/hard it is to get a job in teaching these days, like P.E? I mean they advertise on the TV for teachers so surely a career in teaching is almost a definite career as long as you do well at Uni?

Not as easy as you might think. I know someone who came out of uni with a 2:2 or 2:1 in sport science and are struggling to get the required teaching qualification.

ive got quite a few friends who are teachers. the qualification they all found easy but finding work not so difficult. Always jobs available but you have to be prepared to travel. Finding work in gloucestershire was not very easy at all and the amount of newly qualified teachers seems to be rapidly increasing. The males however found it a lot easier especially if they wanted to teach primary school or not PE. Just about every bloke teacher wants to teach PE and the reality is you only get to spend a few months a year teaching football.

AVFC_POB, your career choices seem to change daily at the moment.

What I meant was not that they were struggling to get the qualification but struggling to get on the course which gives you the qualification.

Your pregnant.

You're pregnant.

If you submit a mistake like that in any of the work you do at university you'll be crucified!

:!: :evil:

Football studies. I don't think they'd care. They'd probably be impressed if any written work wasn't done in crayon.

I'm not doing football studies, it was just one idea I had, a bad idea admittedly.

Oh well, I'm sure you are pleased to get your cheap dig in as usual. Nothing better to do.

To be fair, football studies would be a serious waste of time and money for you...

Try sports science at UWIC - top course, and chances are with your footballing background you'd be a shoe in, and make the Uni's first team who play in the Welsh League.
