Non-academic careers
You could use your knowledge and skills to enter a career outside the academic environment.
This could be something directly related to your subject or alternatively, you might consider entering a career unconnected with your subject but which uses the skills you gained, for example, your problem solving and analytical skills, or your communication and teamwork ability.
Many employers value the intellectual rigour that graduates bring to their work regardless of the exact subject discipline.
