Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| A full-time job will give you some finnacial stability as you'll be earning a fixed amount each month. This makes it easier to apply for mortgages and to budget effectively. | You may not have as much time to do hobbies or see family and friends. |
| You'll develop lots of new skills, which will become more valuable as you move up the career ladder. | Full-time jobs don't tend to be very flexible. Although you can take time off, this is usually limited to about 4-6 weeks of each year. |
| Depending on the career, you'll work with other people. This can be very rewarding when you finish a project that you've all been working on, for example! |
