When leaving this level 3 extended diploma there are many outcomes to choose from as I’ve had explained to me this morning, here is a list of different possible paths.
- Employment – A suitable stainable job is good alongside other options as well as full-time work.
- Self Employment – After creating a business declaring your self employed you soon realize you will pay income tax on your profits not on your total income.
- Apptentship – Educational with awarding factors like payment and getting more use it a work environment.
- University – Taking out a loan when not being able to afford to pay tuition isn’t as bad as most people think. Majority of people pay it back later in life by earning a large amount in work due to them getting a high paying job because of going to uni in the first place. If you can’t pay it back then the loan gets wiped 30 years later and you only have to pay 9% a mouth which is hardly a big payment unless you begin earning a higher amount then the % increases.
- Traveling – Doing a gap year is great for gathering thoughts together to be prepared for what might be next on your journey.
- Internship – Working as a student or trainee for an organization, sometimes without pay in order to gain work experience or satisfy requirements for a qualification.

5-year plan
The next five years after this photography pre-degree I plan to do 2 courses first in film and then music taking up presumably four years, plus an additional course in literacy whilst doing the film course at the same time so my writing improves greatly. Extended literature skills will help me a lot in times of criteria when doing both courses.
Within the time that I have started the film course, I would have had a job for about a year working at The Tavi Frair that I intend to keep till I am able to find more of a creative job which involves some or all of the subjects what I’ve studied including, photography, film, literature, or music.
One dream ambition of mine is becoming accomplish screenplay writer as my main interest lies in the storytelling within films, books, and songs or even other aspects of work instead which would include the development of filmmaking many different stories and themes such as director, cameraman, soundman just to work on an expense set would be incredible.
