Leaving to go home soon on Monday.

London Met!
It's a very drama/dance focused course & involves a lot of singing so it's pretty perfect for me.

What a ray of sunshine you are! Are you speaking from experience?

[Z]

Finished first year last week, I'm now back home for summer! :)

[Crimson Dynamo]

What a ray of sunshine you are! Are you speaking from experience?

yes

experience of folks who go to uni and study for degrees with little chance of employment at the end (ie most)

reality is cruel

[Beastie]

Bet you uni lot are looking forward to a fun filled summer of BB!!!! :D

Wonder if any current uni students will be in BB?

[InOne]

LT is right really, it's harsh but true. I've known a few people who've ended working ****ty jobs with degrees. Some people just go for the life

[BOOSH]

Yeah your right.. and with the recession and all. Some uni students go.. go for a piss up and just scrape a degree out of it then lazy when a full on job comes along.. mmm.

[Crimson Dynamo]

correct

there are no jobs waiting these airy fairy degrees

in tv, film and media the jobs have already been snapped up by eager folks who are not going to uni. ironically.

[Beastie]

Anyway I think you will be fine.. BOOSH :D Just follow your dreams!! You can get plenty of jobs out of your course!! Maybe even review films and that in a magazine?

tv, film and media is on the rise though!! it is EVERYWHERE! There will be plenty of jobs.. maybe more so with the "runner jobs". You probs don't get a lot of money but it sounds fun :D

[Crimson Dynamo]

i would can it and get a job, any job, as a runner for a prod company in London.

And yourself?

[Crimson Dynamo]

And yourself?

I completed a masters but would have been better (in media) to have just went for a job after school. Being an expert in cross sectional data analysis did not gain me the advantage perhaps it should.

I dont think 12 hours of lectures a week was a good use of anyones time..

[Beastie]

Where do you work now LT?

Well - you might have a point there - but a degree is a degree - it demonstrates a certain amount of ability - no matter what the subject! It can never be a hindrance!

[Captain.Remy]

I've already finished 2nd year. I'm doing internship right now as part of the schedule. I love Uni.

Thanks for the positiveness :D
Yeah i know a director is a big ambition but hopefully I'll get there one day.
As long as I get somewhere in the media.. Gotta start somewhere

[Crimson Dynamo]

it is if it means that your contemporaries have 3-4 years of job experience on you

Who are your fave directors?

[Crimson Dynamo]

Where do you work now LT?

i have my own company, which bearing in mind what an absolute self aggrandizing arse I am, is probably for the best. :shocked:

[BOOSH]

Who are your fave directors?

Tarantino, Wiene, Scorsese, Burton

[Boothy]

Tarantino is a twisted genius. I love the bloke. Pulp Fiction is one of my favourite films.

I'm at the stage where I should be going to open days/narrowing down which uni I want to go to. Looking at Worcester to study Business management, basically to keep my options open and have a student lifestyle for 3/4 years. If there were any jobs going in a bank, I'd definitely drop out of college and work there though. Worked at HSBC for work experience in year 10, absolutely brilliant it was!

Ahh that's cool, just go on as many open days as you can, I'm glad I did or I'd have ended up in the wrong uni.
