She's chosen the college not only for its reputation, but also because of its track record for steering graduates towards appropriate employment.
While opportunities are there like those you mention, many employers have become aware that successful art students have qualities they look for. Clearly they have a skill set & creativity, but to do well, they have to be self-starters, show initiative and possess networking & hustling abilities somewhat above the average.
She has retail experience, so she sees that and the art coming together somehow.
She'll love it...and it may save on plastering/decorating as she can create giant flat works and you can put them on each wall.

Admissions criteria for next academic year
you have to write an essay and sit an exam. If you're shortlisted then worry about the interviews and the colleges.

Ooh, thanks for that; I really enjoyed reading a sample paper - shall have to read some more...
Nt sure how I would have coped with them aged 18, though? Tough, but interesting. A bit like the chat we have on here of an evening, only with less chocolate and gardening.
Interesting how many of us went to Oxford... Why not Cambridge, I wonder?0 -

I was an undergraduate there between 1987 and 1990. Did we overlap? I wonder if I knew you!Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -
No, we just missed each other - I was there 90-93.0

Eeekk, now I feel stupid!
No uni here, let alone Oxford....if I had, it would have been between the two of you (1988-1991)We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.0 -
From stuff you've posted previously, I'm sure you're far brighter than me, certainly Sue - I'm a long way off Mensa...
I worked hard and was very driven - due to family connections, that was my goal from when I was about 5, literally. If I'd come from a family where that was less of an expectation, then I might well not have put the effort into achieving that particular goal and aimed elsewhere - you clearly had, and achieved different goals at that age.
As I think I've said before, my youngest brother was the only one of us to get a first, as an Open Uni candidate in his late 30's/early 40's - he was also the only one of us not to attend Oxford! He was brighter than any of us, but took a while to get round to proving it... in his own time.0 -

How many brothers do you have carolt? If a middle child(?), I believe you're meant to be able to get along with most people - just like me! :cool:0 -
