The reality is that a huge amount of work is done at a local and regional level to link with smaller organisations both in terms of jobs and also internships. Students need to be realistic about their careers and recognise that the majority of them won't be recruited by the blue-chips.   Click here to read on...         Pay gap between graduates and those without degrees widens with age New research shows those with no qualifications are 90% more likely than graduates to see their pay fall as they get older.

This was my second and third year house that I shared with three of the best housemates ever. It was a complete hole now that I know better but at the time I didn't even notice! Qualifications MSci Biochemistry Why did you do an internship? I wanted to move out of the sector that was working in and to try something new. What does your internship involve? Learning how to put together a set of accounts from clients records. I have also had the opportunity to try my hand at some very basic audit tests. Your favourite part of your internship? So far it's been the accounts preparation but there is a trip out of the office planned next week to meet a client so more interesting things to come! Any advice for future interns? Be brave. Describe yourself in three words Friendly, hardworking and focused.           ArgenTina Turner – guest blog Welcome to the penultimate, Inspiring Around the World Travel Blog or IAtWTB for short. The travels are sadly coming to a close, and with only one month left, the focus of this edition will be on Argentina, the second largest country in South America. The last blog ended with a visit to the salt flats in Bolivia, and it was from here that we travelled to the northern Chilean town of San Pedro de Atacama. A dust bowl town, which had a certain charm about it, it was in San Pedro where we discovered a new love of ours, table tennis. Our first day in Chile saw us play pong for six hours, so we decided that the next day should be spent doing something productive, and we booked ourselves in for a dawn tour of the El Tatio Geysers, a two hour drive from San Pedro and 4300m above sea level.
