Look I think I think both routes have their own benefits, and it really depends on you as an individual, your learning style, and career goals etcBut personally, I do believe that as apprenticeships evolve and the demand increases there is a unique advantage choosing this route. You get to earn while you learn, apply your knowledge in real time, and build a strong network. If you are someone who’s driven, curious, and ready to learn hands-on, it can fast-track you’re your personal and professional development which university may not be able to [link removed], if you’re someone who doesn’t enjoy multitasking, working under pressure, or balancing responsibilities, then an apprenticeship might feel a bit intense. Keep in mind you’ll be studying and working at the same time so if you prefer a slower pace or need lots of structure and guidance day-to-day, it could be challenging and not the right environment for [link removed] my personal experience I have found that with the apprenticeship I have seen more benefits academically, professionally and personally compared to peers who have picked alternative routes. I feel like I’ve had a head start in the working world and I’m gaining experience much earlier than I expected which I wouldn’t have without my apprenticeship.
