Am I, as a Career Development Practitioner, guilty of prodding and poking ‘capable’ students to elect University as their preferred pathway? Probably!
(Hell-yeah probably!).
Strictly speaking, it is not in my profession’s code of ethics to do this, but it is a particularly hard circuit to rewire!
When you think about it, ‘academically capable‘ students’ will flourish no matter what they put their mind to – particularly if they are adept at honing their workplace skills.
So, to rewire my brain circuitry that says:
'you-must-to-Uni-because-you-are-clever-enough'
I decided upon a little dose of Nicholas Wyman’s “Job U” publication. Nicholas approaches the question of Uni vs TAFE from a very refreshing perspective.
If you would like a bit of ammunition in your ‘don’t want to go to uni‘ mantra, then this book could be your new best friend!!
