Bumps and Breakthroughs: Was a Peace Studies Degree Pointless?
With a background of volunteering in Rwanda and Thailand, a First Class Degree in Development and Peace Studies and two internships (in Uganda and Oxford, respectively), I thought I was set to soar on graduating in July 2013. Less than six months after graduating, I returned to Bradford to complete an internship at the Students' Union designed by the University to support unemployed graduates. After a particularly nasty breakup and big dreams of moving on, I did not anticipate such a swift return to Bradford City.
