Notes:
"School" in the question means the educational facility you usually attend between 5-17/18. I'm not including higher education in this definition.
Gens:
Baby Boomer - 1946-1964
Gen X - 1965 - 1981
Millennial - 1982 - 1995
Gen-Z - 1996 - 2011
I'm gonna assume we haven't got any silent generation (pre 1946) or gen alphas (2012+) who have somehow miraculously finished school already, lurking on tumblr.
Reblog for wider sample.

Been thinking about how my knitting group is mostly made up of gen x and boomers (see me being the only millennial, b’96) and their shared views on further education. Last week they were talking about GCSE results and how they’re made too big a deal of / are only really needed for further education which is, in their collective opinion, a waste of money. It’s wild to me that this is the consensus now because when I was in school, university was crammed down my throat. Any adult at the time would tell you that the only way you’d get a career was to have a degree, yeah it’s 9K a year for it + interest but you only have to pay that back once you earn over a certain amount. “It’s like fake debt.” All of my friends at school went to university. Many of them have Masters. By the time I finished my undergrad, apprenticeships had changed to include graduates. Shock horror, an entire generation steered into further education didn’t suddenly make more jobs.
I said at this knitting group that I wasn’t worried about my student loan. They were shocked, like genuinely shocked. I acknowledged that my student loan is like £60K +, but I’m not worried, because I can’t fathom earning enough for it to do me any damage. That’s what was meant by the “fake debt” that I heard at 16, talking to career advisors about university. It’s almost like we were told the only way to secure a job as an adult was to have a degree by a whole lot of people who knew we’d still never earn enough to pay it back, and now it’s being reflected on as this foolish decision we collectively as a generation made.
I agree that there’s are a lot of jobs now that have pointless barrier degrees required. It’s not fair to a lot of people who could be doing those jobs / want to do them, and can’t and or don’t want to do a degree - this was a big talking point at the knit n knatter. I wanted to stress this so hard though; millennials didn’t do this. I sat there and listened as it was made out like our generation was the one that put these new barriers in place because we all just had to go out and get these pointlessly expensive degrees, and now everyone needs them which isn’t fair. Like no shit. It wasn’t fair on us either. A lot of my friends have post grad degrees (and a lot more debt) because when they graduated, those jobs they were told they could get still weren’t there, so they were encouraged to get the next qualification possible. None of my friends ended up in jobs where they’d need their degrees, I didn’t need mine for the job I have now either - and it’s sad as fuck to me that we’ve all accepted we probably won’t ever be able to afford to pay these loans back. It’s like some twisted envy cycle where people I know who do pay monthly towards their loans are like “you’re lucky you don’t have to pay it” vs us who wish we were earning enough money for it to even matter.
I didn’t know how to say all this at my knitting group, I wish I’d been able to say even a little though because it’s genuinely so frustrating that even on the other side or the further education push (that a lot of us were steered into), we’re still seen as this entitled generation. I’m sorry I can’t afford to take my student loads seriously? I’m sorry I don’t earn enough even with my degree to pay monthly minimum contributions? Sorry I don’t know many people my age who can?

Getting ready for university: Helping your child prepare
*This post is a collaboration with BBC TVL, but all thoughts and experiences are my own Blink and you’ll miss it! That’s pretty much how fast childhood goes. One minute you’re cradling a baby in your arms, the next they’re getting ready for university! Heading off to university is one of the most exciting but nerve-wracking things you can do as a young person….I still remember it like it was…

I've been thinking about doing a Master's Degree over the last few months. Not right now, but at some point in the future.
I think I'd like to do a Master's Degree in Engineering, but I don't know. I'm also a Designer as well, so I could explore that avenue as well. It could also be something completely different to either of those, and do a Masters in a new field.
When I finished uni, I had absolutely no desire to return to education. But that was nearly 10 years ago and things have changed.

2022 - A Reflection
2022 was a bit of a strange year for me. In a good, grown up/mature way.
Some of the main things that happened:
Finished a Level 3 Admin apprenticeship
Found a new job in the FE sector (still getting to grips with but really like the company I’m working for atm)
Went on holiday with my bf (for the first time), TWICE 🥰❤️
Started driving lessons (going abysmally 😞)
Joined the Labour Party & started campaigning w/ my local MP
Attended my first ever PRIDE in Leeds 🏳️‍🌈😊
So all in all not a TERRIBLE year. Was actually quite a good one.
My bf is at university studying to become a primary school teacher, so he’s been living away for quite some time now (over 2 years). But he’s moving home in January for a 5 month placement at a local school !!! 😊😊.
I’m really happy for him to be pursuing something he’s been interested in ever since we were at school, but selfishly I’m really happy he’s coming home too. We’ve been together for around 6 years (hence 2k16), ever since I was 15. So it’s been really hard not seeing him everyday, like we did at school and during college. COVID and lockdown didn’t help either. But things are looking up a lot now, since he’s coming home (and looks like he’ll be staying home too!!)
Anyway that’s enough from me! How was your 2022? 😊
[Below are also some cute pics from Leeds Pride & horse riding w/ my bf on our first holiday in Malta]

Find Your Dream Fe Jobs With Ease
Tumblr media
Finding your dream FE jobs can be a long-term process. You may need to invest time and money in education or training.
Pursuing your passions and purpose is key to happiness. Ideally, you will find work that fulfills both your interests and needs.
For example, many people prioritize travel and adventure in their career goals. Consider a role like a pilot or flight attendant.

I need to speak my truth for a minute: Now that I'm at university in the UK, I'm reminded of the absolute panic I felt when applying for colleges because I'd convinced myself that I hadn't "done enough" to get in.
I blame this mindset on the Americanisation of media around young people applying to college; from age 14 onwards, I was getting home at around 6pm almost every school day because I stayed late to participate in extracurriculars. I was apart of multiple organisations outside of school (theatre groups, art groups, etc.) which meant I didn't get home until maybe 10pm and was constantly exhausted because I gave so much of myself to these hobbies and passions. Yet when it came time to apply to uni, I'd convinced myself that I hadn't "done enough"????
If it wasn't for my sister speaking some sense and telling me there were plenty of people who got into uni with minimal grades alone, I wouldn't have applied out of the sheer fear of rejection.
I spent my childhood watching movies like High School Musical (specifically 3) and A Cinderella Story where they fueled the idea that not only did you have to be the ideal student grade wise, but you basically had to be the second coming of Jesus in every way to even have a chance of being considered for university, so naturally I thought this was the reality.
I nearly gave up my dream of further education based off of these misconceptions and it is so so harmful.
I just want anyone who is in a position where they find themselves considering further education as a possibility- specifically university- to know that exhausting yourself just to build up a personal statement isn't worth the burnout you will inevitably feel, because half the time it's not even necessary. Just do your best. In whatever capacity that may be, if you know deep down that you've done your own personal best, that is enough.
