Oh no dont get me wrong, I didnt intend to have a go at you, I simply ment I always saw Uni as the logical choice becasue I wanted to do more than get a job. My dads a mechanic and he has drilled it into me (in a good way) that he wants more for me in life than to follow in his foot steps, that was the point of me getting a degree. My course and yours for journalism is probably more focused around experience in the industry, like most of my tutors never went to uni for it, they just got in the industry. But that was a long time ago and this industrys changed. I thought uni the best route. Although I do think sometimes it would have been nice, as you say, to be in the working world, although with no offensce to any one who has a hands on job, I just wanted more.
