Leaving Uni' after 3 years

[Carl Weathers]

Just after some advice as I've been offered a couple of jobs.

 

What do you get after 3 years - a standard degree? Is that worth very much?

 

I'm not sure if I want to complete my 4th year as I might have the chance to take a pretty decent job in the role I want to do anyway. I'm coming up for 25 this year, so I wonder if job experience is more important than an honours degree? What do employers look for?

 

Also, has anyone completed their 4th year, part time, whilst at work? That could be an option.

 

 

Thanks for any help.

[coppercrutch]

As far as I know the main reason to get a 'good degree' is to get your first job. After that experience counts for EVERYTHING. Unless you are in a certain specialised area where they actually give a flying **** about your degree.....

[The Merse]

Leaving in 3rd year you will get an ordinary degree, don't think its thought of all that highly but if you've already got the job you want lined up then I don't see the problem with it.

Most unis will give you a standard degree

 

Depends on what you want to do really, you will not get onto any of the graduate schemes without an honours - but then if you dont get a 2 : 1 you probably wont either

 

I would imagine you have a few months before you go back so you have nothing to lose really, go for the job and if it falls through you could always stay on

 

As for studying PT for honours, if you are going to study whilst working you would be far better looking at a professional body exam related to your career

 

Tbh the job I ended up doing I could have probably got at 3rd year so I wasted a year but then I do have the added advantage that I have the honours degree if I decide to look around anytime soon

 

Its all dependent on circumstances but the honours degrees imo are very much an elitist thing for those who want to join diddy graduate schemes, your far better off looking for an actual job with proper experience as opposed to being a glammed up office junior with a fancy job title

We have feelings too..................

[Cobblers]

I'd agree with CC. If you've got your degree and the job that you want I'd take it. In 5 years time no one will bother whether you have an honours degree or a standard degree. They'll be far more interested in what you've achieved since you started working.

 

I can't think of many jobs where you would only be considered if you had an honours degree.

 

What is your degree subject and what are you wanting to do as a job

[Rawrrrrrrr]

We have feelings too..................

 

 

It is true for a lot of schemes, I took a non graduate job and I am about to start studying for my professional exams soon

 

I was speaking to a few people last week who went the graduate job route and they are doing the same or similar exams but are in what are glorified entry level jobs, they where amazed at the experience I was getting and I would say after 3 years I will be far better off than most of those in the graduate roles as simply Im getting far more wide spread industry experience whereas they will probably have to go through that phase after the scheme ends

 

Tbh I was a bit annoyed that I never got one last year, but looking back my laziness seems to have been a bit of a grace in disguise as I think I will probably do better long term in this route

[conn artist]

i left after my third year, for a number of reasons. mainly cos napier is rotten and so where the lecturers i had. but it has done me no harm. i currently do better than any of my mates financially who went the whole hog. i am also back at uni for more punishment part time doing a completly new degree as work are paying for it. i think you get an ordinary degree which is the equivalent of a 2:2 or 3rd. i cant really remember. this would be a prob if you did not have a job lined up. i personally think that having a job and a good personality/interview etc will get you further than 4rth year. unless the field you are trying to get into requires you to become proffesionally qualified like buiding surverying for example. these type of proffesional qualifications require you to have done your honours, should check that is def case tho. from my experiance i would say, take the job it might not be available next year and you could be kicking yersel when you cant get a job and when you do its pants. not an easy decision though so good luck.

[inspector]

Tricky decision to make but personally I think you must consider what might happen 5 years or so down the line. Your job doesn't quite turn out to be as fulfilling as you would like. You are now looking for another job with an ordinary degree. OK, you will have experience but you will be competing with 'youngsters' who are up-to-date with the latest technology, have less experience but may work for less money but crucially have a higher degree!!!!

Personally, a Company who really want you , will be happy for you to get a higher qualification as it reflects better on themselves. Would they consider sponsoring you through your final year?

If experience has already been gained I reckon that is 'crucial' in 10 % of jobs... if that.

[Carl Spackler]

An ordinary degree is not the same as a Desmond or even a Douglas for that matter.

 

There are a few reasons it might be worth staying on for an honours. For example you may be going into a profession where the professional body demands an honours to join as member.

 

Some jobs have accelerated promotion for graduates too (eg the Police I think) and this may require a certain level of degree.

 

There's always the thing that you might regret not taking the chance you had to get an honours. Of course you might regret not taking the job!

 

In my case I was lucky. I was offered a job after third year but turned them down to get my honours. I took the same job after 4th year.

We are only talking about one year. I agree experience is often crucial but that experience can often be out-dated.

[Carl Weathers]

Thanks for all the advice.

 

Tbh I'll probably end up going back to Uni' as the job is in Glasgow and I'll not have the bottle to leave before finishing my course. It's pretty annoying though, as the job role is pretty much what I want to be doing. It's in marketing btw.

 

I could see myself doing that for a year or two, get the experience and then move on again. I believe there are the chartered institute of marketing exams you can sit and that could be an option for the future.

 

It's comedy gold that I've had the chance of two jobs now - guaranteed if I get my degree it'll be straight to the Golden Arches as no-one else will have me.

Haha - classic!

[redm]

I don't see why people are so reluctant to do both - working AND studying is entirely possible. I worked pretty much full time throughout my degree til about halfway through 4th year when I dropped one shift (woohoo) and it didn't kill me. I had a nightmare of a job too! It's not ideal but if you're sitting there with a honours versus great job dilemma, it's definitely the best pick of the bunch. You might have this wonderful opportunity now but there's no telling what can happen further down the line and for the sake of one miserable year (well, about 8 months really...) you may as well slog it out if you can and do both.

 

I s'pose it all depends what sort of degree you're doing but most courses don't involve a huge number of classes in your final year so you might not have too much trouble convincing your employer it's a good idea to let you escape for a lecture once in a while. Either that or speak to your director of studies type person and see if they'll give you a distance/home learning programme sort of thing?

I asked a lecturer previously about studying part time and he was keen to put me off. - it would take two years to finish 4th year. Doesn't sound like much fun either. I'd be up for working part time and continuing with the course but I guess that is unrealistic from the employers point of view.

 

It's quite annoying as I'm keen to start work but realise the opportunity to get a decent degree might not come again.

True, but maybe you could be a bit cheeky and ask if you could work for them over the holidays or something like that? It's not much but a foot in the door is sometimes all you need...Just don't let them forget about you, harass them a lot or something.

 

What degree are you doing?

[Carl Weathers]

What degree are you doing?

 

A good idea but unfortunately I'm on a placement until Aug and then on holiday up until the start of Uni' at the end of Sep - maybe the holiday would ruin my chances anyway.

 

I'm doing a Business degree with (wait for it) entrepreneurship. I got into marketing through my current placement which I am enjoying. The job opportunity has came through that and would be a further step in the right direction (more responsibility, variety etc). The company I'm currently at also offered me a job, which I decided to turn down. They might be in a position to offer me something next year.

 

I think I might see how flexible this new place is - you never know, although I've got a lot of obstacles in the way.

[Cobblers]

Sorry mate can't agree. Missing one year of his degree is not going to make anything he learned outdated. I have a degree but frankly all any degree proves is that the individual has a reasonable degree of intellegence and is able to apply themselves to study. Most large businees will use there own tests to assess intellectual ability anyway and it's far more important to have relevant and successful experience which you can articulate and demonstrate in your CV and interview process.

 

Mind you I'd rather study for life than live in Glasgow.

True - doubt I'd move. Only jakes through there.

Don't sweat too much over the decision mate. You've got the rest of your life to work, another year of pretending to study while your on the pash will do wonders for your character.

I've always wondered how they teach something like entrepreneurship. I always had it pegged as a spiritual sort of thing...something that you just have....or don't have... Aren't there any case study thingys or elements of coursework that you could maybe pester them with? Flatter them and ask advice about stuff as an excuse to maintain contact - market yourself! Raise your brand profile a bit. Hehe. That's how half the people I was at Uni with ended up getting jobs, believe it or not. They refer to it as networking but some might call it plain old stalking....

You can't really teach entrepreneurship - that's what I have learned so far.

 

I'll find out more about this on monday - so I'll report back my findings.

 

I've taken less of a bashing than I thought I might for being a student - JKB is turning soft!

[christhejambo]

I'd finish the full 4 years, but it depends what uni you are at, what degree you are doing , what job you are offered etc. If further down the line you decide the job's not for you and you want to go back to uni you'll have to start from square 1 again. Also depends on your finances too, but for quite a few jobs, having an honours degree will allow you to go in at a highr level in a company, whereas those without will have to work thier way up from a lower level.

[kjc2006]

I've not long finished my 3rd year and considered whether to stay on for honours a few months ago. What I found was that companies were looking for things that doing a fourth year wouldnt give me.

 

It obviously depends on what you want to do. What I would do if I was you is research what companies are looking for in prospective employees in the field that you want to get into and weigh up whether it worth you getting into more debt to study for the extra year.

Haha...isn't it just. I think people are slowly losing the will to live at the moment....I hope it recovers soon cos all this earnest and generally straightforward discussion is a bit worrying really. Someone nicked the banter. Grr.

 

Actually, scratch that.... the Friday Night Boozed-up mob probably just haven't spotted you yet.

[Dr. Bapswent]

Worked my way through both a degree and PhD.

 

Think anyone telling you to do one or the other is more interested in having a point to prove rather than advice.

 

Id also be very wary of those telling you qualifications are superfluous, what garbage.

 

I don't imagine id be upgrade from cattle class to first class as often if I wasn't signed in as Dr.

 

Sounds like sour grapes to me.

 

Jump on the socialist bandwagon if you want. or choose to better yourself. Its up to you and only you will feel bad if you miss the opportunity.

[Miller Jambo 60]

Just after some advice as I've been offered a couple of jobs.

 

What do you get after 3 years - a standard degree? Is that worth very much?

 

I'm not sure if I want to complete my 4th year as I might have the chance to take a pretty decent job in the role I want to do anyway. I'm coming up for 25 this year, so I wonder if job experience is more important than an honours degree? What do employers look for?

 

Also, has anyone completed their 4th year, part time, whilst at work? That could be an option.

 

Oh dear you will have to work ,get out your kip will you cope.

Joke mate but you are 25 i had 9 years work expearience under my belt at 25 and married.

Got to laugh at students as they hold on to school as long as they can.

Dont want to melt down that super brain.

Working and studying part time is possible..... heck I've been with my company for over 30 years, and I've just successfully gained an Mphil.

It's hard work, especially part time and with the normal family life.... so if an old codger like me can do it.... a spring chicken as yourself should find it a doddle to cope with.

Like it Prancer - Just started watching the Shield by the way, not bad at all so far so thanks.

 

O, I would take the job personally. You don't know when another opportunity like that will present itself.

[conn artist]

I take it spelling wasn't your major?

 

i did not study in america so no i did not do a major.

 

the only prob i have is typing on a laptop. but thanks for you witty response.

If you are leaning towards going back to Uni then you have nothing to lose by making a request to your prospective employers to allow you to continue your studies while undertaking some "job training" with them.

 

For what it's worth I would say there will be the same or better career prospects around when you finish Uni but you will probably only get one chance to finish your course.

 

Good luck

[Craig R]

Take the job. I think it is possible to go back and do your 4th year at a later stage if you so wished.

[coppercrutch]

Having heard what your degree is in and what you plan to go into I imagine experience is held over an extra years studying by a massive amount.

 

Business. Entrepreneurship. Marketing.

 

They seem like the last sort of careers where anyone would give much of a flying **** if you had a 4 year degree instead of 3.

 

You are doing a degree in Entrepreneurship and have a chance to get into a working life earlier than planned. In a funny way wouldn't you be failing your course if you didn't take this opportunity...........

 

As some posters have said maybe studying while working is a possibility ?

 

Just my opinoin though and mind I am not in any of these industries so maybe a poster on this site who is can give an 'inside' view ?

 

PS - The wiedge factor is the only drawback I can see !!

As I said it depends on his career plans

 

To a degree your right, I dont want to take anything away from the OP but his sort of a degree is ten a penny and experience would be far better than the honours in that sort of field

 

As long as he has a job offer on the table with good prospects I would strongly suggest he take it

 

The only thing an honours really offers in business degree is the chance to do a graduate scheme, otherwise the 3 years are enough

 

the honours years tend to be far more academic based than practical and if your planning to go into the industry as opposed to academia based then take the job

Indeed. If there is a real benefit of doing the fourth year then he should definitely consider it*. If not then don't bother.

 

 

* That is up to the OP to find out. Why don't you ask a few prospective employers for their opinion on the matter. After all they are the people who will be offering you work this year or next. If they say there is little point in the extra year...... well... decision made.......

Certainly at my uni most if not all business degrees tended to have the first 3 years looking at the practical side, gaining exemptions and the knowledge to suceed in that field

 

The 4th year tending to be far more academic, looking at journals, writing significant reports and generally academia based as opposed to practical

 

I personally took very little out of fourth year and this is something a lot of people I know say the same about, it didnt equip us with anything particularly relevent and probably wasted a year

 

That aside the employment opportunities where far easier to find with honours - mainly because my role was all graduate based or at least most of them and wouldnt touch a normal/2:2.

 

However trhe jobs are there and employers will sponsor you outwith a graduate scheme and in a way you learn more this way

 

I would certainly suggest anyone with the OP's degree and a half decent job offer take it and start getting experience and a professional qualification - not pt uni study and I think after the year they will be further ahead than their colleagues who stay on

[coppercrutch]

Ok Carl Weathers. Before you make up your mind do this:

 

Monday am. Get contact details for 3 or 4 places that you may want to work for in future (Not the ones who are offering because they have an interest in you leaving straight away )

 

Give them a quick call. Ask for their opinion on the matter. They are the ones that matter in the end.

 

Base your decision on what they say, not me or any other poster on this site.

 

Good plan ?

I was just asking some advice - I'm not about to start a poll and base my decision on it!

 

But yes, it's a good idea. I'll ask around, find out a lot more and have a think.

 

Tbh this particular job is in Glasgow, so I'd probably have to move through. I can't see that happening anyway.

 

Thanks for all the comments.

I've got over 5 years of work experience myself, more if you include all my part time work with an electrician's firm.

 

I've never had it handed to me like some people I know at Uni'.

That could be a plan. Can you imagine people making important decisions based on a JKB poll..

 

Good luck anyway. The wiedge angle must be a sickener..

Personally I'd stay a student for another year. The world of work is overrated. Of course, when I was a student we got a grant to fund our drinking rather than a loan...
