Are you at college and not wanting to go to university? Or are you curious about the alternatives to higher education? Whatever your plans, NotGoingToUni is here to help you discover your options.

As you’re oh so aware, there is immense pressure on you guys and girls nowadays to go to university, and those of who are not wishing to go feel very isolated. On top of this there is a huge lack of advice out there for people like yourselves, which is why were here to help!

For those of you unsure about university, you shouldn’t be going for one of the following reasons because it just won’t be the same…

• Pressure from parents
• Pressure from school/college
• To leave home
• To live the student lifestyle
• To delay getting a job
• Because all your mates are going
• Because you feel it’s the only way to get a decent job

It is for this final reason that you have found yourself on our site!

Many people are unaware that there are alternative routes into many professions without going the traditional way through university. There are so many training schemes out there which will enable you to both earn n’ learn (oh yeah!) at the same time, and still give you prospects similar to a degree, without the five-figure debt!

The decision of course is yours, and don’t feel you need to rush to make it. There is no shame in taking time out after college to discover what suits you best, and do not feel pressured into doing something you don’t want to do.

If you do think you’re going to university, NotGoingToUni offers internships, voluntary positions and also work experience which will give you valuable experience and set you apart in the workplace.

We’ll soon be launching a jobs board featuring A-Level jobs, GCSE jobs, apprenticeships, trainee schemes, management careers, internships, work experience, travel jobs and much more. No longer will you need to trawl for hours on end finding suitable jobs! Coming September 2008.
