Thanks for reading my peice, it;s interesting that you say that because I often ask my self if I could get by with out having to go to an institution to further my studies. But I almost feel devalued if there isn;t a peice of paper to proove it.
I think with certain subjects it is often unclear with what you can do with it, which is a big problem that I find amongst my peers who are pretty much distancing away from what they studied, and getting jobs in a completely separate field.

Good luck on your quest in finding a job, especially in this time. And we must also remind ourselves that Patience is a virtue .

I read in “careers for dummies” ironically, that university is not a necessity but if someone has ambition they can do well without it. Many of those with ambition go through university. Whilst many go to university because they do not have the spirit to try without, or for security, parents, an interest in a specific field, or are just uncertain or lazy. There are many skills and opportuinities for those to do well without university. I have also recently graduated and think its a bit of a myth that university prepares you for the real world. I would like to see more apprentice and entrepreneurship opportunities for muslims, something which is slowly improoving, and for the stigma that to go through life without a degree can less to as much success or more with a degree.
