A level results were published this week, leaving hundreds of thousands of students celebrating or re-thinking their future.
Whilst millions will line up for induction at the UK’s universities, students are starting to realise that they can reach their dream career through apprenticeships or well planned jobs.
The BBC profiled some students who passed their A level exams and secured lucrative jobs across the country.
Das Birkamjit Gakhal earned himself an A, two Bs and a C at A level. After applying to university and being offered places on degrees, he has since decided he can achieve his ambition of becoming an accountant by working in relevant jobs whilst completing vocational qualifications. He will study for an Association of Accounting Technicians qualification, then study with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.
“It’s a much quicker route than university – you become chartered in four years,” Das told The BBC. “Whereas if I went to university, it’s four years and then I’d still have to do my ACCA qualification, which normally takes two years.”
Das said record levels of debt and graduate unemployment deterred him from completing a degree: “I was worried about debt,about coming out with all that debt on my shoulders. And then you hear in the news that graduates are graduating … but they’re not able to find a job.”
Over 170,000 students will miss out on a place at university this year. As Channel 4 News reported, university isn’t the only option. A website dedicated to exploring post-A level options with students advised that everyone who received their results should discuss their options with someone they trust to ensure they embark on the right path.
By choosing jobs instead of degrees, students will be able to earn money instead of amass significant debts, they can get a head start on their career path which, as long as they work hard and are focused, can see them have a head start on their peers who spend three or four years in education only to graduate and face potentially massive levels of graduate unemployment.

Ambishri Pandey writes on behalf of TeacherLane India’s premium education services portal with a vision to create and inspire change on learning and teaching horizon by encouraging Student-Teacher collaboration through the web.
Teaching is considered to be one of the noble professions in the world. Anyone who aspires to become a teacher would agree that a teacher has the authority and the responsibility to mould his/her students. Being a vast field, teaching career requires different skills and type of training at different levels. From being a pre-school teacher to a college teacher, the skill sets are different for different levels and so are the qualifications. Teachers can make a difference to the lives of their students by rousing their curiosity and watching them grow. At school level, mostly there are female teachers though there are male teachers too but their percentage is low. At university level, there is an equal mix of male and female teachers.
The different areas of specialisation for being a teacher include teaching at nursery schools, primary schools, middle schools, high schools, colleges, universities, institutes, special schools etc. Different type of expertise is required at each level. For those who love to be with children, teaching at schools is a very good option and for those who want to mentor young adults, teaching at college or university level would be preferable. The eligibility and criteria for each level is different. The best part about a teaching job is that it is not restricted to any one field or area of study. No matter what stream have you studied, you can still become a teacher if you are expert at your field and have the necessary qualities required in a teaching job.
The very basic qualities of a teacher are that he/she would be patient, perseverant, ready to adapt to the demands of the students and would have a pleasing personality. Students should look up to a teacher and should not be wary of him/her. To be popular among students, a teacher requires understanding their psychology and speaking to them in their language. Through their intelligence, wisdom and patience, a teacher should be able to exert influence on the students in a positive manner. Students should have confidence in their teacher and should consider him/her as a role model. Such teachers are a boon to the society as they are capable of producing responsible citizens with well-rounded personalities.
There are different courses for teaching at different levels. To get a pre-primary teaching job, one could pursue NTT course offered at most polytechnics and vocational training centres. The eligibility for this course is Class XII with 50% aggregate. To get a teaching job at primary level, one can earn a diploma in education or a Bachelors in Education. Graduates of Home Science can also apply for primary teachers’ job. To be a secondary or senior secondary teacher, one has to have a B.Ed degree after graduation. These are called Trained Graduate Teachers (TGTs), and after post-graduation they are called postgraduate trained teachers (PGTs).
To pursue teaching at the university level, one needs to have a good academic record which means minimum of 55% at master’s degree in the relevant subject and after which one has to take the eligibility test for lecturers called National Eligibility Test (NET). This test is conducted by UGC, CSIR or similar tests accredited by the UGC. When one clears this exam, one becomes eligible for the job of a lecturer or a university teacher.
To be a successful teacher, one has to be passionate about the subject that one is teaching. It is one’s interest in the subject that can secure one’s future. Teaching should not be taken up as a back-up option. It should be taken up only if one strongly believes in oneself as a mentor because teachers are responsible for the future of many a student. A disinterested teacher can completely ruin a student’s interest. These days, teaching has also become a lucrative career option. Both government and private school teachers are paid handsomely for their services. One could also get hired for teaching job at a private coaching institute. Or one could start one’s own venture. The options for teachers are wide-ranging, from joining schools, to private institutions, to NGOs to teaching in colleges. Thus, a teaching job is full of options and avenues and can open up a path of growth for those who believe in themselves and can train others.
