+ 1ken why does it matter if it means more people can do what they want to?
Doing my post grad in Advanced Architectural Design and I look forward to year with no job once i graduateI know il end up going from weekend retail to full time retail for a period no doubt!
Architecture jobs are very hard to come by at the moment![]()
i knew a guy 2 Es and 1 B went to uni came out with a 2.1 in engineering 1999.

I'll be graduating this summer with a degree (2:1 hopefully) in Multimedia Technology (bsc) but am a little worried as to what i will do about getting a job.
The course isn't that specialized to be honest, with 5 different modules every year such as 3D modelling, website production, media industry and graphics & design to name a few. The problem is that because none of the modules go into great detail i don't feel like i'm skilled enough in any of them to actually go out and get a job.
Guessing i will have to get a job afterwards which will provide training, so i will be able to work my way up the ladder.
I'm studying for the ACA and I fail to see the benefit in doing an accounting degree. It seems to get you about 6 exemptions from the ICAEW in general, and the graduate programmes at the big 4 are all structured to assume no knowledge, so all it mean is your life may be a bit easier in the first year imo as you don't have to study and work. In all honesty i don't think the exams are that difficult either imo.
I think if you want to go into professional services, you'd be better doing another degree and getting a better breadth of knowledge.

This is exactly the reason why I dropped out of my computer science degree. I knew people in the industry and the kind of knowledge I needed, and not a lot of the stuff being taught was real world applicable.
Are you a solicitor?
I don't agree with what your saying by the way, I think if your comming from a non-law background the firms prefer you with a science/maths degree rather than another BA; as these degrees can often be very helpful in specialist areas such as IP.
Furthemore, and I am not sure this is always true, but law is the hardest BA in my opinion (biased, yes) and it can perhaps look like undergraduates who may not have the grades required to do law, choose to do another BA in the attempt to become a lawyer.
Finally I think in terms of BA's the skills you get from a law degree and a history degree are pretty similar, as both are theoritical subjects at that stage.
Another attention grabbing headline that is infeasible. It must be Labour.
Or crap degrees in general, which will always be a problem.
I graduated a couple of years ago with an MPhys, and now doing a PhD in astrophysics. I decided to do the PhD as at the time I wanted to be a physicist, and this was the way to do it. Mainly I deal with modelling physics on clusters etc. I've really got into programming since starting so hoping to do something in that area now. I'm going to start thinking seriously about jobs this year, see what's available.

No it doesn't. At all. It shows you can do coursework/pass exams. And even if you get a first, it means you get 30% of things wrong. 2-2 means you get 50% wrongHaving a degree shows potential employers you have a certain level of competency.
