Capital letters?

vtmil

Please help, I am going around in circles.

Do I need to use a capital letter in any of these examples:

I want to be a .......... eg. doctor, teacher, nurse
I am a .......... eg. as above
I went to university (U/u)
I am an Assistant Guide Leader?

I know this is off topic, but it's for a uni application form so sort of long term money related!?

ARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH I am driving myself mad!!!!

thank you

Any proper noun eg University of Leeds will have capitals (except the small word of). Common nouns eg teacher/doctor etc will be in lower case.
In the case of an assistant guide leader, there are again many of them so they would also be lower case. However I think it is one of those where no one would notice the upper case version unless particularly good at grammar.

i am a Brownie Leader and I would always write it in capitals like that; not sure if it is grammatically correct or not but as the above poster said it looks reasonable. My theory is that Guides, Brownies, Scouts etc are always written with a starting capital letter in their advertising material, books, badges etc etc etc so I should stick to that, I guessyou could write "Brownie leader" / "assistant Guide leader" but I would at least do that one word with a capital

As Dee said, although I'd put Guide with a capital if it's the Girl Guides you are talking about. Although I'd probably specify that it's the Girl Guides I was talking about.

Thank you.

You would not believe how much I have been stressing over those capital letters.

For future ref have a look at the Guardian Style Guide, it's what I use for these sorts of things!
