It’s far to easy to blame the GFC for graudates personal issues.

When I was editor of the student paper at Newcastle university I was stunned just how many media students never bothered to utilize something like their own student paper.

Students seemed busy posting updates on their facebook profiles or ‘overloaded’ by university work to do some journalism.

Then many of these students walk out of university and expect that the world will just throw them a job.

Its been like this for donkeys years and its fair to say that staff at the universties encourage this thinking.

I guess its ‘glass half full’ thinking …. A degree is always worth something…isn’t it?

I mean…if you did a journalism degree and couldn’t write your way out of a wet paper bag you still might be useful.

You could write for crikey for example..haha
