I know it may be daft to say this, I mainly joined uni thinking that my skills would be enhanced, but a lot of what I've learned has felt pointless as I've found the most useful tutorials for my chosen line of work (3D Character Artist) on YouTube anyway. There have been success stories of graduates from my uni who've even gotten jobs from Disney so I was hopeful.

But I'm also very worried that by third year I'll be even more burnt out than I already am in second, ending up with a final grade worse than I would've wanted. I believe I would rather gain some more skills in my own time (as I have done), this time without any pressure from my uni. Then start doing full time work as a junior 3D artist and climb up from there.

I have relied on Student Finance too which really helped me and my family out, so that's also a reason why I've stayed in uni.

I'm also noticing that with some job roles, they say a qualification from formal education would be beneficial, a DipHE is definitely an example of this.

I'm unsure I guess, I'm just really thinking through the best course of action.

I was put off driving for 3 years because of this, it was 2 instructors who very quickly lost patience with me, I was a nervous driver, especially messing up at roundabouts and the busiest roads, I struggled to get the hang of it. From stress i'd even forget to look at mirrors, stall, stuff like that.

Would get shouted at and I'd be in tears, etc. They were angry that I wasn't test ready after a couple months of being taught. They refused to teach me again.

It was a waste of my mum's money, I was unable to find work for myself back then so that kind of made it worse and the last lesson I had I cried and apologised and even she apologised because she really wanted me to be a driver and thought she may have pressured me (she didn't really).

It was ALREADY hard to get a driving instructor in this area (arguably busiest area in Surrey), and I had to get 2 who stressed me out.

Now I actually have my own car I can learn with and my dad is helping to teach me, he actually is patient and reassures me a lot. I am super grateful. I am also in Scotland where there are empty country roads as well as busy town roads for whenever I'm ready.
