Hi friend –

 

Does this sound familiar:

 

  • Struggling to make new friends since leaving education… 

  • Guessing every career decision without a clear plan…

  • Doubting that you can find career success in the north-east…

  • And spiralling mentally because of the above…

 

We’ve personally been there

It’s a difficult place to be.

“Maybe I shouldn’t have studied that degree.”

“I will be better off moving to London.”

If you’ve been having these kinds of thoughts, you are not alone.

And that’s why…

… some of us end up doing another degree…

… or taking a year out to travel…

… or feeling like our jobs are a drag.

But the solution to these “post-education worries” is simple.

In fact, it’s the reason we started HIYP back in April 2023.
