Study, Work & Careers

I was “B” magazine’s careers expert for a year, advising readers on their workplace dilemmas. I’ve also contributed to the Guardian’s Office Hours section. Student finance is also a big topic and I’ve written about funding university, student cash, student insurance and other issues relevant to young people studying or starting work.
