Graduate Jobs?

    I graduated 2 years ago from an arts degree and have had little luck in finding any relevant jobs of interest to me; this is in no small part due to my complete lack of direction.

    Trying to sort my head now, and focus my energy on getting a 'career' for myself; motivated in the main by a vacuous existence in the retail industry :D

    Been looking at possibly heading in the direction of a MA in Media Law; probably via a PgDip in Law; if the Uni of East Anglia are less than receptive to my plea bargain.

    Anyway, before I decide on anything I am seeking some knowledge from ye in the know. Which industries seem to be proving to have high employment rates for graduates?

    Do you mean 'Just go do IT (Information Technology)' or;
    'Just go do it (the Law course)'?

    I'm confused :confused:

    Seriously? :eek:

    The guy said "law is screwed too many solicitors". What's confusing about that?
    He said to do Information Technology, but frankly I don't like your chances of passing either if you couldn't understand his post

    Thanks for that BQQ; a bit premenstrual are we?

    I asked for clarification because it didn't make sense to say 'go for it' and then follow it up the way he did. I deeply regret my act of utter stupidity and shall apply for a job in McDonalds without haste.

    I'm sure your measure of intelligence is the marker by which many top Universities around the world are admitting new students.

    Now has anyone got anything positive, about the original topic of conversation, to contribute?

    A simple explanation would have sufficed - no need to be rude.

    Looks like I'll be sticking, vaguely, in the media field by doing a PgDip in Cultural Event Management at IADT. I've done a bit of work in the festival sector already and enjoyed it; might as well have a stab at it - not that there's likely to be many jobs about in that either. :rolleyes:
