For the majority of people who complete secondary school the assumption is that they go on to university. Many people end up finding a career that had nothing to do with what they studied for their degrees and many others do very well for themselves without having gone down the university path.

Chris talks about getting on the UN's payroll without a degree, Sarah speaks about cooking pasta at university and Marcus explains his decision to go to university was largely based on the amount of holidays you get.  Find us on twitter and insta @aqqapod.
