Thanks to proposed higher tuition fees, graduate debt and low graduate employment, more and more people are realising you don't need a degree to get a great career.

But it can be hard to choose the right alternative. NVQ? Apprenticeship? Maybe a gap year, or volunteer work, so you see what job really makes you tick?

This is where BIGDOG comes in. We're the place to find out everything and anything to do with alternative routes to work. Our friendly online community is made up of people just like you. If you have a question, you're bound to find an answer. Got something to say? Then share it!

We're also the place to find job opportunities from top employers, who are looking for fresh young, talent with lots of enthusiasm. And opportunities from training providers, so if you already know your dream career you can get stuck in straight away.

But it's not all about work - BIGDOG also likes to play. So you'll find plenty of great fun stuff that we've fetched for you - from deals and offers to apps, website reviews and more.
