If you're passionate about making a difference and love interacting with young people then teaching could be for you. It's not an easy job, I wouldn't want to pretend that it is, but the rewards are tremendous. There are many ways to become a teacher, having a good degree in your subject area is important, as is previous experience of working with children, however there are many routes into teaching from the Schools Direct programme to Troops to Teachers. If you want it badly enough you will find a way to get there. Becoming a teacher is one of the best decisions I have ever made, it's what I want to do for the rest of my life.

Progressing into a career in architecture you would obviously need a degree in Architectural Studies and I’ve got a Masters in Architectural Studies as well. It is a focussed career choice to move into architecture so you’ve got to have an interest in the construction industry in the first place and from that strength across the board in different subjects is very important.

I’m very lucky to work in a profession that has a very real and direct impact on the world in which we live and as I was born and grew up in Cornwall I’ve chosen that as the place I can have that impact. Ben Bosworth Low Carbon Design Leader PBWC Architects, St Ives

www.cuc.ac.uk/itsmylife

I wanted to challenge myself, hence why I set up Questions and Answers. I very much wanted to be in control, to be in the position of setting something up from scratch and to be able to make a difference without having to report to several other layers of management. I wanted that freedom to work for myself really.

For me it’s about passion and making something happen that has the potential to impact on someone’s life. The smallest things can have the biggest impact. James Browning Managing Director/Social Entrepreneur Questions and Answers Community Interest Company, Redruth

www.cuc.ac.uk/itsmylife

I decided to go back into education. I liked Maths and I liked Science, so I found myself doing a Foundation Degree in Renewable Energy Technology. Within a few months I became very very passionate about mitigating climate change and after finishing my BSc at Cornwall College I saw a job advertised in planning, working on similar types of projects. I took the chance and four years later I’m now doing some really exciting stuff in a job that I love.

I’m a massive sport fan and always wanted to work in sport. I was able to bring a lot of sports business knowledge to the firm and, combined with my father’s background of running a company, the two of us have knitted together really well.

I’d always harboured ambitions of living in Cornwall and there are definitely opportunities – I’d say business studies is a good grounding for people moving forward. Alan George Director, Gala Events and Cornish Sporting Club, St Austell

There are lots of very bright young people who come into medicine and by and large they are very focussed and know they have chosen a life of medicine. One of the things that becomes difficult for them is to then decide what speciality they want to go into – do they want to become a hospital doctor and then a consultant physician at some point or do they want to remain in primary care and be a GP? Of course there are lots of different specialities in a hospital – emergency medicine, cardiology, neurology.

What inspired me at first was the website and how different it looked to other brands. My mum was in retail and I’ve been brought up around it. I love working in Cornwall because of the environment. Our offices are based on the cliff tops in St Agnes and it’s a luxury coming into work every day.

www.cuc.ac.uk/itsmylife

In terms of opportunities it’s about making the most of what is available, making the most of your CV and having the confidence to pick up the phone and make your first impression count.

STEVEN NICHOLAS Home town: Newquay

• Telephony • Troubleshooting

Steven’s Route: A Levels in IT, Maths and English, IT specialist course, FdSc in Computing and Networking

Schools don’t really do youth work qualifications so if you want to be a youth worker you have to do it at college or degree level. To get into uni I had to have four different subjects at A Level. People always talk about their dream jobs and mine was to be a youth worker in the Camborne, Pool and Redruth area because I’ve grown up here and I know the kind of issues young people face.

www.cuc.ac.uk/itsmylife

It’s primarily my degree that got me here. For anybody looking to do this sort of career I’d suggest studying hard and choosing the right course, preferably at university level. Also send out your CV to the companies you want to work for.

Anna’s Route: Degree in Business Administration

If you want it, if you believe in it, you can do it. You need to work hard and apply yourself for three years whilst you study and even when you have qualified your learning doesn’t stop there. It’s continued professional development. That’s the great thing about being a physio, if you want to learn you keep learning.

There are tonnes of opportunities in Cornwall and I think that it’s a case of going out there, finding them and putting yourself out there. Traditional perceptions of what Cornwall offers are starting to diminish.

People think you have to go to the cities to get opportunities but there are a lot more people in the cities so the competition is just as fierce. If anything you can find some real gems in Cornwall, which you couldn’t find elsewhere. Anna Penrose Business Workshop Manager Unlocking Potential, Penryn

There are two ways of becoming a Chartered Accountant. You can either leave school at 16 and go in as an apprentice, spending one day a week in college and the rest of the time with your employer. Or you can get your degree and go into accountancy after that as a graduate. Once you’re qualified you have that qualification for the rest of your life.

BTEC National Diploma in Art and Design, BA (Hons) Textile Design, FRA Short Course – Introduction to Buying and Range Planning

Even though I don’t specialise in textile design and print here, my degree at Falmouth University gave me the knowledge for the department that I work in and really pushed me to want to be in this industry.

You can get a lot of help from companies like Seasalt to develop in your field. The opportunities are there - you just have to take them. Charlotte Rollason Assistant Buyer, Seasalt, Falmouth

There are a few opportunities but I think the best thing to do is to get out there and do as much volunteering as possible, it’s definitely the key to opening doors and finding out who’s doing what locally.

I love being out and about on boats, seeing the coastline of Cornwall and also handling shellfish, marine mapping and surveying. It’s a completely different world to what a lot of people do day to day. Kimara Street Scientific Officer, Cornwall Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority, Penzance

At school the three main subjects I chose were Graphic Communication, Product Design and Art, which gave me good creative skills and got me onto a Transport Design course at the University of Huddersfield. When I discovered networking I found this to be a very important tool to have as it enabled me to get my third year placement and some great industry experience.

What has really helped me the most is my background in English, which I’ve followed from GCSE to Masters, so I’ve got a good understanding of literature, language and grammar that is really useful for my role.

There are a lot of opportunities for students coming out of university and college now. I think it’s about deciding what you want to do and making sure you take jobs that will get you there, even if it’s not what you want immediately.
