Yeah unfortunately a degree doesn't really mean as much now as it used to. I did alot of (elective) subjects at uni that I thought would help me find a job (ie business ethics, industrial relations, org. behaviour, etc) but who knows if they mean anything to a potential employer.

Its strange that uni's in aust seem to teach you every concept or model in your field but when you finish uni you don't have any knowledge of how to get a job (just a pretty piece of paper!) There should be a compulsory subject on finding employment (Employment 101??!!)

If it isn't too late for you blinkau, and your uni offers it, do an internship (or similar) as one of your last subjects. Gives you some real experience in the role you want after you finish your degree. I wish I did!
