Hello
It’s my first time posting here so i’ll be brief.
I was at university studying product design for two years, but left due to some mental health issues.
Since i’ve left i’ve managed to find a apprenticeship as a Design Engineer for a injection moulding consultancy & product design firm, ( i was very lucky) and since the apprenticeships are pretty much one in a million and pretty unheard of here in the uk, i’m just wondering how employable am i, without a degree but with work experience?
I don’t want to leave my current employer, i just want to make sure that if something unfortunate happens to the company that i will be able to find work in this field.
I plan on completing my apprenticeship and going back to university but my employer (who’s self taught) doesn’t want me to go back to uni.
I’m just posting so i could hear your thoughts on the situation, as i’m twenty one next month and there is still a lot for me to learn about the field.
Cheers
