I got into uni after struggling with my mental health during my alevels and consequently not doing well in them after taking an overdose the week before exams started. I then went to college and did a BTEC and then took a year out and kind of decided I would never go to uni but 2 months ago I decided to just try to get in through clearing and I actually did it and am now going to study law!
I feel like a lot of young people aren’t keen on the traditional idea of working ‘9-5’, idk why but for me working ‘9-5’ is something I’m really looking forward to as well as the professional office environment lol.
I dont mind a 9-5 as long as its doesnt involve being a slave to capitalism or supporting the capitalist machine. I am studying to be a research scientist, which is generally 9 -5
Hi Eve! I’m a journalism student going into my final year at uni and here are a few things I’ve picked up on from what my tutors/previous students have said... - experience over a masters is seen as a better route for employability. There are so many placement programmes that you can apply for that allow you to practice and develop your journalism skills. The BBC do a couple of good ones! Alternatively you can ask your university for updates on placements around your area? My university offers this and emails me every month with current opportunities. I’m sure there would be a supervisor willing to help you with this? 2 weeks at Sky News and your UA-cam channel is amazing but employers look for a LOT of experience, even as a freelance journalist you need experience behind you. It’s a stressful career to be in, trust me, you’re constantly surrounded by competition so you need that experience behind you. You have a really good twitter following and if I was in your shoes I would be using it as an advantage to tweet/dm ppl working in the broadcasting industry to set up some work experience. You have to bombard them, there’s no other way! - I would look into doing the NCTJ if you’re serious about journalism. If anything, being accredited is much more employable than having a masters and not being accredited. - if you still want to do a masters then just make sure you’re getting that experience still, while you can! There’s plenty of time yet. - BUY “McNae’s Essential Law For Journalists”, it’s basically the journalism bible. As much as a career in journalism is exciting, you have to be aware of the laws surrounding what you can and cannot say. It’s better to be prepared now than when you’re working with a broadcasting company and accidentally slip up... that can lose you a job. - Freelance journalism is a TOUGH career to get into. Be prepared for a lot of hours of dedication and missing payments. Nonetheless, if it will make you happy in the long run it’s worth it! Use the platform you’ve got now to get started! Hope this helps 🙂
Your skin is GLOWING Eve❤Also, a big thanks for all the advice and help over the years - got my A level results yesterday and managed an A*A*A!! Thank you!
Aliya Brear just realised it didn’t have anything to do with it. For some reason I read it as “do a video about what to do if you didn’t get what you need in first year”. Oops
@@morganbruce9087 hey what did u get in aslevel? I take bio,chen,psych and my grades were not what i wanted to ,so what do u recomme d doing? Changing subjects for A2 fast track thru,give resits in oct nov or give resit with A2 exams next yr??
Hi Eve, I’m a TV Producer in London, and also went to Oxford. In terms of career advice I would say do it: it’s a great career. But if you think you’ll be able to choose what hours you work you’re definitely headed towards the wrong profession. TV dictates your working hours and not you I’m afraid and believe me they are long and it never gets any easier. It’s a rewarding career though for those who can tough it out.
@@lifeisbeautifuldarlinimlovinit like everyone you have to start from the bottom as a runner, picking up bits of work here and there and building up your cv, doing other work like temping in between to pay the bills. It is incredibly competitive so you have to be laser focused if you want to make a career in it. Doing some work experience initially helps too then it’s just a case of bombarding companies with your cvs and looking for runner or receptionist roles on online job sites until you’ve managed to break in. Good luck!
Journalism looks at experience, not degrees. A masters won’t give you an edge over someone who has been on an apprenticeship at the BBC for the past 2years :(
Hey Eve! I'm currently doing a Masters in International Relations but with the long-term goal of heading into journalism/political communications. I think it's a great career option and your language skills will be so useful. I've done modules in French/Spanish at uni to use them in jobs abroad if I decide to move from the UK to Spain or France. If you're interested in foreign affairs but also journalism, some organizations (NGOs etc.) often look for communications interns so you can work on your writing skills and also use UA-cam and other platforms to report on the work of that particular organization (write articles, take photos, edit videos). Not sure if it's something you're interested in :)
I envy people who have a "vocation" and know what they want to do as a job since they were little. I had a more difficult process, and i'm still a bit uncertain. I thought i wanted to be a doctor (because my immigrant parents didn't understand other jobs existed). I didn't get in (luckily) and then did International Relations and Sustainable Development... wich i discovered i wasn't really interested in... but i did such eterogeneous subjects during that degree, that it allowed me to be very flexible with my master's choice. So now i'm doing a Masters in Environmental Economics. And there are still many many career paths i could do after I finish. And i don't know what i want. But i still have a year. Also, for anyone feeling lost, remember that careers are evolving. This aren't our parents times, where you do a job all your life. We can change paths, try different things, new jobs are beeing created, our world will change. So don't worry. Chances are that if you ARE asking yourself this questions about your future, you are determiend enough to make any choiche you pick work. You'll be fine.
omg me too , I have literally changed my career plans a 1000 times. I'm only about to start sixth form in a few weeks and I feel the pressure from my parents to take a career path that would lead me straight into a job like working in finance or other traditional career path. While I am interested in economics and plan on doing it for a level, I don't see myself working in the financial sector at the moment therefore I have picked other subjects such as geography, english (might swap for politics A-level) and spanish. However my parents keep telling me that those subjects will lead me nowhere and that I should draw a line between reality and my passions. Right now I am thinking of doing a language degree in spanish and another foreign language as I am bilingual already (french and english), so languages come quite easily to me, then I'll probably do a master in something like International Relations or something that allows to talk about worldwide issues
I so needed to hear those last few sentences. I have recently changed the degree that I’m planning on doing and although I think I will enjoy it, the fact that I am an over thinker means that my brain is going on all the what ifs.
Just wanted to say thank you so much for all your inspiration and videos you’ve posted over the past few years. They helped me a lot through a levels and I got in to uni!! Got all the grades I wanted and I’m starting in September 😁
This is great! I am an ambassador for the Bright Network for the NorthWest and would encourage people from all backgrounds and stages of life to get involved!!
That sounds amazing Eve! It's so great that you've found a route that could combine your degree with youtube and your other interests! I hope this works out for you or just that you end up doing something you're really interested in - good luck!
I think ultimately it’s okay to not have a ‘plan’ and often this is how the best opportunities fall your way. Giving yourself a strict path is limiting and you never know how situations, or yourself, will change!
I’m starting uni next week, and I’ve always thought I’d really love to live in London for a few years when I graduate as I just love the city so much, so very much look forwards to your future videos about that move. Good luck with everything ☺️
Hi Eve, I have two video requests: 1. Can you make a video on internships and how you got so many in your first year at uni? I'm about to go into my first year and now I'm panicking because everyone's telling me I need to get work experience but I don't know how. Do unis help you? 2. Can you do a video on what to take to uni (particularly Oxbridge)? Or, even better, upload your extensive packing list from last year! Great video! :)
- Blurryface - I completely agree! I think that her reasoning that it should be on the back burner compared to other aspects of her life was immature because you need to keep consistent hours if you want to have a successful career
Two of my best friends are freelance (one is a journo in digital, the other a writer, and we’re in our 30s, don’t ask me why Eve’s videos were recommended to me but they’re great!). The unpredictability of sourcing work, clients not paying bills on time (and the tax implications of that!), the actual pay itself (poor), never switching off for the constant hustle and lack of work/leisure divide.. it’s not without its major challenges. But Eve’s UA-cam might open doors and opportunities, so who knows, it might work for her. Eve, I recommend finding a mentor working in media/journalism while you’re still at uni and taking up every internship you can. Look into alumni networking through your college as well, make the most of the Oxford connections 😊
I was naturally good at maths when I was young too! And everyone was very surprised when I followed the Humanities pathway in high school hahaha! Being good at something does definetly not mean enjoying it!
i had your English teacher in year 9 (going into y11 now!) and up until then I hated y7 and 8 English. It was awful and boring and I hated the lessons. But she completely changed my perspective on the subject and helped me excel and it’s now my best subject by far.
I’m hoping to do a masters at Oxford and then the bar course at City to become a barrister after I graduate. Super odd that I’d be at the same unis as you for two years if everything goes to plan haha. Good luck with it all, your plans sound super exciting 😊
I looooved hearing about how you discovered What career you want to go into!! I’ve just finished my first year studying graphic design, and although I enjoy it, I’m 100% sure I wouldn’t want to do it as a career and I also don’t think I’d manage a 9-5! Journalism is something that’s appealed to me as well but I guess we’ll have to see🤪🤘
Please do more videos in the future about your journalism journey! I’m doing English Lit at uni and a postgraduate in journalism and I want to be a journalist too, you videos would help so much 😊 love yaaaa💗
English lang/lit was probably my niche during my school years and I was adamant about using my skills in English in the future, but year 11 prolly sparked my interest in sciences & I took the chance and decided to do A-levels in all three sciences and thankfully I ended up with A*A*A & now Im studying Biomedical Sciences which I absolutely love. In all honesty I prolly won’t work as a Biomedical scientist and Im kinda aiming towards postgrad vet medicine but I wouldn’t be surprised if my career plans change. But regardless you’ll know when you’ve found the perfect career for you, it’ll feel natural & right for you!xx
The whole thing about maths is so true like I’ve always been good at maths I got a 9 and A^ in gcse maths like you did but I was absolutely shit at A level maths just because I found it so boring. PLEASE don’t do A level maths just because it’s easy at gcse if you don’t like it. Honestly even if you’re not that naturally good at maths you can do well if you put work in but I had no motivation at all this year to revise it lol glad I’m dropping it.
I found the whole maths thing so interesting because I went absolutely the other way! I have such a natural ability for History and English, they're subjects I absolutely love doing and I was so sure that I was going to go to uni to study a combined History and English degree, with a future in international relations (since I speak French and German fluently as well). December of Year 11, I did a complete U-Turn and walked into my guidance counselor's meeting and went "right, I want to do Higher Level Physics, Maths and Chemistry" it's been absolutely hell (especially with higher level maths) but two years later I've come away with 776 43 in my IB and I'm off to Southampton in a week to study Physics with Astronomy and Space Science! Somedays I wonder what life would've been like if I had done History and English (definitely was beating myself up after my Oxford rejection in January) but the opportunities and careers open to me (especially with the growing space sector) are just so exciting, I can't regret that. Always follow your passions! Not just what you're good at. :)
Eve, after watching this I honestly feel like we have had such a similar career/academic journey. I was always pushed towards maths because I was good at it, then I realised languages was my calling and focussed on going into diplomacy too. I'm also doing my degree in German and Spanish (joint honours with Politics) and have recently played with the idea of journalism. I just can't get over the similarity.
If you want to do video journalism I would recommend you go and watch Jonny Harris on UA-cam. He does not have many videos but he has a series about how he got his job at vox. He makes ' borders' for vox. You should check him out
Soo excited I clicked this videooooo so fast! So excited when you upload!!! I JUST UPLOADED MY OWN RESULTS DAY VLOGGG I GOT INTO OXFORD I can not believe it
i was the same and i loved maths the whooole way up until my year 11 mocks when i lost ALL passion for it, along with sciences too. obviously ive gotta wait until the 22nd to find out but i just completely switched all my options to study History, English literature, Politics and Art- im so much more excited for these humanities than i ever was to study bio, chem and maths
Hey Eve, you inspire me a whole lot! especially with school, I adore your videos they help me a lot. I am going into year 13 in September and I also study English language and Literature as one A level. I really do enjoy it but it is also one I struggle with the most, would it be possible for you to do tips or a video based on A level English and what helped you, please? I adore all your videos, it motivates me a lot! Thank you, all love!
Hello Eve, good video, thanks for the Driving Theory Test video was really helpful, shame about the fact that you couldn't consider any flexible working/ part-time options within the Diplomatic Service, however it's good to see that you at least considered it and have a decent Career Plan.
I went the complete opposite way to you! I wanted to do languages up until year 10 when I decided on maths, further maths, chemistry and physics which I am in my second year of now
How did you get your placement with Sky? Have been applying to every news outlet under the sun for three years and have been rejected for everything 😭 have lots of experience with student journalism etc and still nothing. Would love if you could do a full video on this!
I want an Eve Bennett talk show where you talk about actual intelligent stuff instead of the pop culture garbage that the media thinks women want to hear...
Hi eve I hope you see this, can you do a video about how you got into oxford apart form the grades etc as nowadays don't they look for more than just grades when you apply including extra clubs etc. I really want to go to oxford and have heard for what I would like to do extra things are really important!! This would be helpful xxx
What can you do with a language degree? Anything seeing how its how we think eh lol maths/music/English etc are all languages/process/pattern a good basic tool to help us observe/identify/define/understand any persons/places/things/Qualities statement/command/question/wish is =Who What Where When Which Why How.
I know that this nothing to with the vedieo (but I do love the vid) what happens to your mini as I also love cars and I hate that a car just stands on a drive not getting used Thanks
A German/Spanish graduate, an economics graduate, a science graduate and an engineering graduate are at a table in a restaurant. The science graduate asks "Will it work?", the engineering graduate asks "can we build it?", the economics graduate asks "can we sell it on for a profit?" and the german/spanish language graduate asks "Can i take your order please?" Just kidding, all the best
*sees that Eve wants to live in London*
*watches advert to the end*

@@lifeisbeautifuldarlinimlovinit like everyone you have to start from the bottom as a runner, picking up bits of work here and there and building up your cv, doing other work like temping in between to pay the bills.

Freelance journalist means you can pick your projects but not your hours
Yeah that reasoning from her is fairly immature
Honestly, it’s not as easy as it may sound to some people. It’s a stressful career!
- Blurryface - I completely agree! I think that her reasoning that it should be on the back burner compared to other aspects of her life was immature because you need to keep consistent hours if you want to have a successful career

i was the same and i loved maths the whooole way up until my year 11 mocks when i lost ALL passion for it, along with sciences too. obviously ive gotta wait until the 22nd to find out but i just completely switched all my options to study History, English literature, Politics and Art- im so much more excited for these humanities than i ever was to study bio, chem and maths
Hey Eve, you inspire me a whole lot! especially with school, I adore your videos they help me a lot. I am going into year 13 in September and I also study English language and Literature as one A level. I really do enjoy it but it is also one I struggle with the most, would it be possible for you to do tips or a video based on A level English and what helped you, please? I adore all your videos, it motivates me a lot! Thank you, all love!
You are very supportive of other UA-camrs. Such a kind person.
Actual video starts at 3:38

Hello Eve, good video, thanks for the Driving Theory Test video was really helpful, shame about the fact that you couldn't consider any flexible working/ part-time options within the Diplomatic Service, however it's good to see that you at least considered it and have a decent Career Plan.
Congrats on 200k💛💛💛
Big relate with the 360 turn
I love to watch your videos in the morning.
I went the complete opposite way to you! I wanted to do languages up until year 10 when I decided on maths, further maths, chemistry and physics which I am in my second year of now
You'd be an awesome journalist
is anyone else going to the Bright Network Festival? I just applied!!
wooo :)
Such an interesting update video!
You’ll love London
How did you get your placement with Sky? Have been applying to every news outlet under the sun for three years and have been rejected for everything 😭 have lots of experience with student journalism etc and still nothing. Would love if you could do a full video on this!
I haven't found mathes difficult but this year I found I have gone backwards in every subject
I want an Eve Bennett talk show where you talk about actual intelligent stuff instead of the pop culture garbage that the media thinks women want to hear...
Eve you should check out BBC Future Voices, its about journalism with modern foreign languages
Pls pls pls do a level time management and things like that tips
See if you can get any work experience working for your university magazine/newspaper. That looks really good on your C.V. Xxx
Rachael Banks She does already. Video Editor Cherwell Newspaper.
Me and the boys are so competitive in mathes and my sister said he is better at science and history
Love from an ARAB StudyTuber 🥰
My grandpa is a maths teacher too but I still can’t do maths sooo

Hi eve I hope you see this, can you do a video about how you got into oxford apart form the grades etc as nowadays don't they look for more than just grades when you apply including extra clubs etc. I really want to go to oxford and have heard for what I would like to do extra things are really important!! This would be helpful xxx
your make-up looks BOMB
I too loved Maths but only until GCSE... quadratic equations fried my brain 🤯🤯
I want to be in the civil service for diplomats too
Why don’t you do like language learning books or something like that??? But sounds like a great idea
early 🧡 could you film some study with mes / get productive with me videos? 💕
I’m the same with maths and science so I might try harder with English to see if I’m like u xx
What strategies have you in place now that you didn't have before to enable you to reach your goals?
Any method to go about CAIE Further Mathematics. What book should I use. It would be great if I can prepare online ty.
What can you do with a language degree? Anything seeing how its how we think eh lol maths/music/English etc are all languages/process/pattern a good basic tool to help us observe/identify/define/understand any persons/places/things/Qualities statement/command/question/wish is =Who What Where When Which Why How.
So basically ur good at everything
Gemma yeah it feels like it! Everyone is different though x
Can you do a video about what you need to bring when moving into college please😭 I haven’t a clue

Hola como estas ? Quisiera saber si ya te graduates de la universidad. O sigues todavía
Do you speak spanish
NGL you really dont need to be thinking about this after your first year
You kinda do tho
Watch Gilmore Girls. Rory goes into freelance journalism in the later series🤓

I don’t think what you’ve done on UA-cam would damage a Diplomatic career.
I love you eveee
The website you mentioned above will help me in my A levels or not ?
Jennifer Larsson it’s for graduates trying to find jobs. So probably not.
New and soon to be graduates I’m sorry many of your older and dimmer fellow citizens are fucking things up.

A German/Spanish graduate, an economics graduate, a science graduate and an engineering graduate are at a table in a restaurant. The science graduate asks "Will it work?", the engineering graduate asks "can we build it?", the economics graduate asks "can we sell it on for a profit?" and the german/spanish language graduate asks "Can i take your order please?"
Just kidding, all the best
you look like Barbara palvin! sp pretty
