Student Cricketers Given First-Class Support from MCC

A career in professional sport is the dream for many young men and women.  What better job is there than one which enables you to make money out of something that you both excel at and love doing?  The route to the top in sport is notoriously steep, however; by its very nature, the competition is fierce and those who don’t make it far outnumber those that do.  Choosing between ‘chasing the dream’ and continuing with academic studies is a tough decision for any talented young sportsperson.

Help Me Choose!

A winding path…

Remember, your degree or A-level choice does not determine your life or your future career. I started studying Science & Maths A-Levels, then a Chemistry degree which I decided to leave after the 1st year.

However, I fell in love with Philosophy so I specialised in that. And now I work in Marketing!
