[pima.nius] Business Insider | Journalism Tops List Of The Most Useless College Degrees

2:37 PM |


 Hi Jason,

As a journalism graduate I was fully aware that jobs would be very limited before I started the degree and was reminded about this during my studies at AUT. You seem to imply that students naively go into a journalism degree without knowledge of this. 

I didn't think my communications degree was useless at all, it made me understand the dangers of mass media such as biases, inaccuracies - something I think a lot more people should know.

Further to questions raised for Robie at AUT, here is an article from Business Insider in the US:

Be nice for journalism students to know how similar NZ is to the US and, more importantly, how few jobs will be available after they've paid tens of thousands of dollars into AUT coffers. Most likely response: more personal insults instead of facts ?
