I am writing as an arts graduate with a strong degree, but even with this qualification the hunt for a job can leave you despondent about the three years of study you have just completed, let alone your prospects for the future. Paid entry-level jobs for graduates are hard to come by, and those that there are often place emphasis on attributes other than your education. It is more important now than ever before to remember that doing a degree is not just about getting a job. Yet I also believe that a climate in which large numbers of graduates need to undertake a further course of study as unpaid interns to secure jobs is highly pernicious.
