Obtaining a higher education qualification, such as a degree, will significantly improve your career prospects. Not only will there be a wider variety of career options on offer, including the potentially lucrative graduate job market, but once you have graduated you are more likely to be promoted to managerial positions – many organisations are now employing graduates for special trainee schemes.
