Honest takes on apprenticeships, university and personal finance for young people in the UK. Watch, connect or work with me 1-on-1. 👇
Hi, I'm Daniel 👋 My mission is to provide honest, practical answers to help 18–25 year olds in the UK make confident decisions about their career and their money.
I spent four years on a degree apprenticeship at a major investment bank instead of going to university, so I dig into the questions no one answers properly: Is an apprenticeship better than a degree? How do you actually manage money in your twenties? What does building wealth look like when you're just starting out?
Expect straight-talking videos on salaries, saving and investing, alongside the bigger career questions like the apprenticeship-vs-university decision I made myself.
"I was completely torn between uni and a degree apprenticeship. One session with Daniel and I finally understood the trade-offs — I've now accepted an apprenticeship offer and couldn't be happier."
"Daniel helped me weigh up a placement year and what employers actually look for. I walked into my first workplace far more confident about how to make a good impression."
"Honest, down-to-earth advice with zero jargon. He helped me sort my UCAS choices and understand what a degree apprenticeship would actually be like day to day. Genuinely clarifying for someone my age."
