Choose a subject that gives you opportunities to progress in the fields that you are interested in. I love working with charities, Bibs was great for this as it gave a wide range of skills and knowledge base to help in my job roles now.

It took me a while to figure out what area I wanted to get into, I had a few false starts! I would really get students to research and get work experience in the areas they are interested in to see if its for them. It saves a whole lot of time!
