The employment outcomes of Arts graduates

[brendan]

... Every article you have posted about the arts degree has talked about the arts degree negatively.

How is every article "negative" regarding the Arts degree?

This article is awakening the old stereotype (true or not) that arts students are merely burger-flippers at mcdonald's etc.

Where in the article does it state that all arts students "are merely burger-flippers at mcdonald's"? The only person that has actually said that in this thread is you.

why not stop being so bloody antagonistic? you've made your point, so why don't you just get over it. BTW do you not realise how insulting it is for arts students to have their choices degraded by people like you posting these pointless articles?

[brendan]

You are quite obsessed with arts students Brendan. Methinks you just like provoking a response. A little bit attention starved? HERE'S YOUR ATTENTION BRENDAN

I think it's more the case that your post, bearing little relation to the topic at hand, shows that you are more obsessed with the messenger than the actual message.

... Okay Brendan, if you're going to act like a moronic child, I'm going to treat you like a moronic child.

Dictionary definition of negative, because clearly self-victimising Brendan never learnt this in school!

"being without rewards, results, or effectiveness: a search of the premises proved negative."

The crux of the article you just posted was that an arts degree is not likely to provide an arts student with a relevant job. I.E. An arts student will not be REWARDED with a job in their field. THIS WOULD IMPLY, BABY BRENDAN, A NEGATIVE ASPECT.

Now, I'd love to go through and do this with each one of the articles you have posted, but I can't baby you through this self-victimising game you have going. You'll have to do it for yourself, can you do that, little baby?

WHO WANTS ATTENTION. Brendan does

I think it's more the case that you're an elitist git who gets off on condescending those he feels are beneath him.

[jaynie13]

And too bad NO ONE CARES seeing as this applies to people in the UK. Way to make a point dude.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Welcome to reality art students.

Hmm, I have a feeling he posted this to purposely get on your nerves after your reaction in the last post . ("Your" refers to anyone who got overly defensive in the last post)

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Welcome to reality art students.

Um, what?

How is something relating to the UK pertinent to any Arts student here?

Not only that, but the article is from 2007, meaning that he actually went to search for this article. You can just imagine him sitting there typing in "arts degrees poor earnings" and his face lighting up with glee when he found what he was looking for.

It's pathetically funny

[jaynie13]

^ HAHA, how true! What do you think his problem is with arts anyway? Could it be the fact it is far more interesting than what he is doing, and jealousy is a major factor???

[humph]

For fuck's sake. It's fucking trolling. How pointless...

[Eriny]

Yeah, it's probably trolling at this point. Trouble is, it's 'clever' trolling, so none of us can accuse Brendan of anything. Best we can do is attack the article itself, then, whatever valid points we might make are labeled 'defensive' and aren't actually addressed.

Half of you are in denial. The other half already know that you don't aim at the average anyway. We visit VCEnotes for higher ENTERs than the average.

I think this post, more than any other in this thread, has to take the cake when it comes to immaturity, and attacking the person rather than addressing the actual topic.

The crux of the article you just posted was that an arts degree is not likely to provide an arts student with a relevant job. I.E. An arts student will not be REWARDED with a job in their field.
 

1.   The finding that 40% of arts grads are in jobs that don’t require tertiary education does not imply that “An arts student will not be REWARDED with a job in their field.”
2.   Your statement would imply taking a 60% probability as being “not likely”.
3.   People can be in jobs that they love without it requiring a tertiary education, so its not abundantly obvious that 40% of arts graduates not being in jobs that require a tertiary degree is an absolutely negative thing.

If you guys really had half a brain you wouldn't respond to him, because statistics don't matter a whole lot if we're the high achievers that we all strive to be. Since when did we aim for the average bar?

It is the action of individuals that lead statistics, not the other way around.
