Will a Post Grad Qualification Help You Steer a Path Through a Tough Job Market?
I’ve contributed recently to a couple of articles on the subject of whether obtaining a post grad qualification will give you an edge over your contemporaries in television. I can understand why this has raised itself again, with the fairly bruising market conditions still being felt in the industry at the moment, many freelancers are finding themselves thinking about going back to study as a way to kick-starting their career.
Before I rattle on, it might be worth taking a deep breath to absorb the sobering air of current stats: there are now over 15,000 people studying at post gradate or higher education level for a media related subject, with nearly 3,000 courses available to choose from – that’s a lot of people and an overwhelming choice. You can breathe out again.
