English for me was always fascinating; there were great lectures and a wide variety of literature to engage with. Religion, while different to anything I had previously studied, was fascinating and thought provoking. Since graduating I have completed a Masters in Guidance Counselling and I am now working full-time in Wexford as a Guidance Counsellor and teacher of RE and English. I put my career success down to the top-class education I received and the colleges' reputation for training top-quality teachers.
