Hello and welcome back to my blog! As I am entering my 3rd year of university in September, I have been thinking a lot about the different job positions I could have after graduation, 5 years after graduation, and even 10 years from then. With all this thinking and research I've done, I decided to make a post to help other students know what careers their degree can give them and just simply bring this thought into their minds. I hope you enjoy reading and take away useful information for yourself!

If you are in post-secondary, thinking that in 1-4 years time you will be done school and starting your career path is scary. I still can't believe that I'm as close as I am to finishing my degree... time really does go by fast.

There are so many more diplomas and degrees you could work towards getting, however in my opinion, the ones above seem the most common! The purpose of this post is to get you thinking and possibly exploring the careers you could get. It may seem like a simple process, but take it from me... it's difficult! I want a career in marketing after I graduate, and I am currently working towards that through courses at school and work experience. However, there are so many different routes and types of jobs I could get in marketing... from advertising to public relations. Starting early can make it easier in the long run! If you found any of the careers listed above interesting or if you're curious to learn more, check out the link I used to obtain so much useful information: https://www.prospects.ac.uk/careers-advice/what-can-i-do-with-my-degree
