I'm illustration student finishing next year, and..... well we'll se were I'll be going. Should be some moving image thing since I am not really doing any illustration work.
One thing I find really annoying about work/work placement is that it doesn't really matter how good you are as long as you know a lot of people. (This is not against danny or mckineley If someone deserves recommendation there's nothing wrong with it) There are just way to many lazy people in my uni whose work is crap. Regardless knowing "the right people" will evnetually get them a good job. That sucks.
