Adequate as I still live at home as I cant mvoe out yet however I'm sure my salary is likely to shoot up the further I get into my degree. If I was living in my own house I think I would struggle.
There are loads of social work activities and work presentations to deliver to school leaver/ school audiences including the NEC Skills show in birmingham that I recently attended.
Yes
Good working environment, structured learning, sponsorship through the degree, easy to work for. I would warn about the long hours but its worth it to make a good impression.
Try work experience for free a year before applying it seemed to work for me. When on work experience try and network with as many people as possibl to give you the contacts to drive forward.
