What can I do with my degree? | The joy of tax | Consultancy employee profiles
Dear All,
May was a month of good tidings for graduates and moral victories for students. As we reported, the proportion of graduate jobs within the UK is at a record high (and increasing), while the ongoing campaign against unpaid internships struck a blow for exploited students everywhere.
With graduate prospects on the upswing, then, your students should make sure they’re aware of the various opportunities open to them. A good place to start would be our recently revamped ‘What can I do with my degree?’ article, which you can read about below.
On an administrative note: we have started compiling order requests for the distribution of our 2013/14 printed guides (coming soon!). If you didn’t receive an email from us on 9 May, notify us at this address: [email protected]
Kind regards,
Laura McFarlane,
Editor, Inside Careers

What can I do with my degree?
A great many things, as it turns out.
Drawing statistics from the 2012 Destinations of Leavers from Higher Learning (DLHE) survey, we’ve compiled a list of the common subject-to-career transitions.
Some of your more assured students may already know what they want to do after university, but it’s always useful to know what one could do.
