Can anyone give career advice?

Generally after university you’ll be in a junior role starting out, which entails less responsibility. I would recommend starting as soon as possible. It may be hard when other, young colleagues are going out on friday and you have to wake up early the next day to study. You can try and get level 1 out the way at university; however,  you may be able to get an employer to pay for it. You also have more energy when you’re younger
