Didn’t we all think that whenever we finished our studies our life was decided already? You finish your degree and immediately you either do a masters or you start working of course in something very closely related to your field. The truth and real life are not so idealistic, many times people don’t find jobs related to their field or decide that they don’t want to pursue further studies. Sometimes you may even see yourself doing something different from what you thought you would be doing and you end up loving it and finding your passion. No one has the right answer as to what do to after you finish your BA. There is no right or wrong, there is one whatever one desires to do or become. Indeed, we do not have guidelines that tell us what steps to take next but keep reading and you might find some useful tips to help you cope and deal with this uncertainty
What To Do Post-Degree

Studying for masters usually and time-consuming. It gives you the chance to return to university and study as a postgraduate.

When you decide to study, you have the amazing opportunity of doing it abroad. If for example, European culture is something that always attracted you but you didn’t have an occasion to go then what better than to go as a student to meet people that are exactly in the same situation as you?
Take Time For Yourself
If none of the above options are suitable for you then why not taking a gap year? Many believe that a gap year is a waste of time or it is for those who are lazy and don’t want to do anything. They are WRONG!. Taking a gap year can enrich you so much as a person and it can make you learn things about yourself that you didn’t know before. It gives you the option to travel, explore other cultures, learn other languages, meet new people, discover new skills…
