Will I get a job after uni (starting 2026) + some background
I’m on a gap year this year. I’m 19. Got good Gsces/A levels
Worst year of my life, lost all my money to a scam, my family got all their passports + cash stolen, we lost our only holiday we saved up months for (nobody helped us), I lost a really close friend
Unemployed, hundreds of hours going into job applications, apprenticeships, part time work, interviews, and nothing.
I think I’ve got some serious mental health issues because of all this and I can’t cope anymore with it all. Sob story over.
I have a university offer and the 2 courses im debating are audiology or economics. The job market has already traumatised me enough and I fear it’ll only be amplified by the time I finish uni, I see the horror stories of unemployment on this subreddit.
What course should I pick? And how can I make sure I get a job (maybe in or after uni)?
Right now I need to figure out what help I can get regarding my circumstances . I don’t wanna do anything stupid to myself.
