Yeah, that's exactly like me, i just chose English becuase I did well at A level and I got offered it, I didn't even apply to do English at uni, when i rang them with my results straight away they offered me English. Being naive and wanting to go to university desperately i just went and did it thinking 'oh well, i'll have to teach it' but for years i've been dreading teaching. It doesn't help that my parents arn't 100% suppotive about me doing midwifery, because they think i've wasted all these years etc etc...and "you're 22...you should have a propa job by now, not doing ANOTHER degree" blah blah. Does make me even MORE determined though!!!

About clearing....i assumed, if anyone did go through clearing, it would be the applicants that didn't make it first time round. That's why i'm applying 2009. I was too late for 2008 entry and all the interviews had passed, so i'm now working for a year.

Nice to know someone else who's in a position similar to mine!!
