Did you choose your work for love or money? Did it work out? The outgoing head of UCAS is warning against an obsession with careers driving young people to study subjects that don't really interest them. Mary Curnock Cook says students should 'study something that just sets your brain on fire' and take a break after graduation to look around at the possibilities. What did you do? How are you advising the young people you know? Did you choose your own work for love or money? Call You and Yours now - ring 03700 100 444 or email us youandyours@bbc.co.uk.
