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.
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

reality is cruel

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..

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!

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

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

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

Tarantino, Wiene, Scorsese, Burton

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!

Pulp Fiction is one of my faves too :D

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.
