The people that piss me off are the ones who do a Film Studies degree at Coventry Polytechnic and then expect employers to be impressed! and what if they wanted to work in the film industry? i'm not going to bother going to university now. you've all persuaded me that it'll be a waste of my time and i will never achieve anything. in fact, where are the razorblades? |

Then I think employers would be even less impressed! |

I think the point has been missed somewhat. Surely if you're just going to university to get a job then you'll probably come out hating it. You should go to university to study something which you are genuiniely interested in, job at the end of it or not.

I went into a job with training after my A Levels as money was tight, andf i wasn't sure i'd be able to put in enough effort to make a degree worthwhile. I've ended up doing pretty well, but now i'm a bit specialised (not in a spakky way) i would find it hard to leave for something different on similar money. Which is a bugger, as i like the way i live, yet 4 years down the line realise i hate my career.
If i had gone to uni, i would have done as Ben says. Do something you will enjoy for a few years, it'll make it easier.

Are you in the Civil service then Bird?
Surely once you're in with the mafia you can jump about departments?

You should go to university to study something which you are genuiniely interested in, job at the end of it or not. Exactly why I did history. I would teach, but I hate kids, or anyone much younger than myself. Its not personal, I just find I can't get on with them. |

The people that piss me off are the ones who do a Film Studies degree at Coventry Polytechnic and then expect employers to be impressed! I go to to Plymouth uni and do a course which is considered by many as a "Mickey Mouse" course (it's not media or film though, I have qualifications in that field though  ). When I started Media Production at University of Bath I was one of a dozen students on the department... When I completed the course the incoming year had 100 students. It's ridiculous really but Uni' s encourage it and are building bigger media departments because they want more students and therefore more funding. Studying Media and Film is pointless unless you're very talented, got good contacts or studying in or around the media hubs like London, Bristol etc etc... I know for a fact that some businesses disregard applications with MEDIA on the form! |

Local Government Dazzza, it sucks, I have already jumped dept 4 times Bugger, did a brief stint with the civil and the beauty of it was once you're in you can side step all over the show to a completely different department/job. Once you're in you're in. |
