Somewhat unrelated to media law, but entirely related to your lives and the importance of finishing your degree, is this story:
Last month’s federal jobs report showed a rock-bottom unemployment rate of 2.8 percent for workers who hold at least a four-year degree. The overall unemployment rate is 5.7 percent...“Presumably, these educated workers are the most productive in our information economy,” wrote Guy LeBas, a financial analyst with Janney Montgomery Scott, in a report Bloomberg Businessand other media outlets cited. “At some point in the coming year, we’re going to risk running out of new, productive people to employ.” Anthony P. Carnevale concurred with LeBas. As director of the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce and a top expert on the labor-market returns of degrees, Carnevale has long railed against dubious arguments about the payoff from college being overrated. “We’re headed for full employment” of bachelor’s-degree-holding workers, he said.
This is to say, the best way to secure a good job is to graduate from college. So study! Own this first test! If you have trouble, come see me so I can help! Let's get you graduated!
