more elitism would be good
I now work at a decent art college in the Southwest and there was some amazing stuff in the end of year graduation show, utterly beautuful stuff with excellent presentation and great concepts.

there was also some utter pap. Sometimes it just requires an over the top bullshitted supporting essay to convince the lecturers it is not mimsy-snot. And they fall for it

As far as I can tell

Degree + No experience = No job
No degree + Experience = No job
Degree + Experience = maybe a job..

I've been working for a while and found that not having a degree (subject appears to be irrelevant) is a big stumbling block now ...it wasn't when I started working, ho-hum!

it's because all the wankers who are in position to employ people
have degrees and think it makes them special.

it's impossible to fail unless
it gets harder and harder to fail the little bastards each year, the only way is for them to not actually submit anything at all, I've received a piece of a4 with a couple of crap sketches in that is supposed to be a 2 minute flash animation with character development, due to there being something submitted it cannot be a 'u' which is ungraded but an 'f' for which there are varying percentages from about 10% up to 35%, therefore it means that even if they fuck other modules up there is a combined score which can now technically allow them to get a 3rd, this also comes from students with 0% attendance records!

Still the pay is good
