 Just because your career path isn't obvious, it doesn't mean you won't find success. That was Emily's attitude when she left university with a drama degree and moved back home with her mom. She was out of work and she felt like she was out of options. But everything changed when she got a job as a dental nurse and impressed her employers so much they offered her an apprenticeship. That's when things really took off. As an apprentice you get specialist training and you get to study for job specific qualifications. So not only do you learn new skills, you get to use them in real situations, gain loads of experience and earn a real wage. Emily hasn't looked back since then. She's been promoted, she's working for a new practice on a higher salary and living her life to the full. So if you want to develop your skills and grow into a career, the answer is apprenticeships.
