my story

No Silver Spoon,
Just A Plan

I finished A-Levels with 2 Bs in Accounting and Economics, and an E in Maths. Not exactly the grades you see on LinkedIn humble-brags. But even then, something in me refused to believe that a handful of letters on a results slip could define what I was capable of.

After a gap year, including three months at a US summer camp that taught me more about myself than any exam ever did; I started uni. But while everyone else was settling into freshers, I was already deep in the process for a degree apprenticeship. Online assessments, in-person interviews, assessment centres; the lot. Every stage felt like proving to myself that I belonged in rooms I hadn't been invited to yet.

When the offer came through, I sat with it longer than I expected. I loved uni. My mates were there. Walking away from that felt like giving up something I'd only just found. But deep down, I knew what the right move was, even if it didn't feel comfortable. I took the job, and I haven't looked back.

The Timeline

A-Levels

The Starting Point

Finished with Bs in Accounting and Economics, but ended up with an E in Maths. Definitely not your A* grades, but I wasn't going to let this define my future.

Gap Year

US Summer Camp & Travel

Spent three months in America working at a summer camp. Grew up fast, got perspective, and came back knowing I wanted more than the traditional route.

University

Started Uni, But Kept My Options Open

Began my degree but was simultaneously interviewing for corporate roles. Passed every stage — online tests, in-person assessments, the works.

The Offer

The Hardest Easy Decision

Got offered a degree apprenticeship. Leaving uni and my mates behind was tough, but I knew it was the right call. Took the job and started my career in the big city.

Now

Living It & Sharing It
