Hi All,
Currently studying last year of a levels and looking at options after I leave school . University is becoming less appealing by the day , at the moment I’m building sheep numbers ( and hence building equity - although it’s minimal ) on rented ground and uni would mean selling up and standing still for 3 years while getting a debt of £50000 and a piece of paper that doesn’t appear to be necessary for success in farming . That said , I don’t want to completely abandon education. I have had the offer of an potential apprenticeship in Wales with a fantastic farmer where I could continue to expand my little business , I was therefore wondering if anyone had any experience or knew of providers of high level apprenticeships ??, in my mind it would be ideal to work on a farm , gain hands on experience ( while expanding my own stock numbers in the evenings etc ) and get a Degree at the same time . Any help or advice appreciated .
Many thanks ,
