I would contact them for an informal chat in the first instance and hten take it from there.
It's always difficult if you are looking at a change in career direction as you usually have to take a drop in pay but you have to look at the longer term goals.
You may be eligible for student grants, bursaries or other allowances - it may be worth investigating further on this front.

Like Ziggy said, think long term and where you could end up with the experience. I wish I was a bit younger - theres a vacancy in Cornwall  |

I thought age didn't matter JL?
We're considering moving back Manchester way too so might not be any point. I can get paid twice what I'm earning now for the same job over there.

I think I would take a drop in pay if the new job was much much more enjoyable than the last one - to be happy in your work is so important
Go for it April.......at least you are not losing anything by applying and going for the interview

I agree with JennyW that if you apply and are then offered the post you could make a decision then.

It looks like a good way into professional gardening, especially as they will no doubt cover all of your college fees. Who knows? You may be able to cross over to an RHS garden if you take it all the way.  |
