      Anything you like! Well at least in university you can do whatever you like. In college you are a bit more restricted but still there is loads of choice. What do you want to study?

      That depends on what you are interested in!

      If you actually want university to train you for a job rather than learning a subject and then doing a job you are looking at studying to be a medical doctor, dentist, nurse, pharmacist and I guess engineering too, things like that anyway.

      The other option is to to a subject you enjoy and then enter a profession after, you may or may not need to do further degrees like a masters or PhD, depends on what job you are thinking about. Even if you end up doing multiple degrees if won’t take longer than a degree that trains you for a specific job as vocational degrees are generally longer.

      I would study something you are interested in though, it makes it easier to learn. 🙂

      You really can choose to do anything you like but, for many people, what you study doesn’t need to be what you end up doing as a job! I studied to be an engineer but now I’m spending half my time creating websites and the other half doing research into swimming animals!
