Anyone here knows someone who has done a Drama degree?

A friend or acquaintance maybe? I'm wondering how's the job (search) like for them.

Anyone?

My friends' brother did Drama at Northumbria, and got onto Marks and Spencer's management graduate scheme. He is now an experienced manager of three years, and has been offered a job somewhere else, and that organisation is paying for him to do a (compulsory) Master's degree, so I suspect it's quite a high level job. On the other hand, my best friend's sister is a Drama graduate. She's worked in menial jobs for years since her graduation.

Oh, that's lovely to hear :smile:

I'm sure it can still be considered a transferable skill/degree?

It's just like any other arts degree (I'm doing one, too, so I'm not some STEM obsessed moron), they're not exactly the most employable degrees in the short term, but I'm sure you'll do fine with it in the end.

I know someone who did drama at Cambridge.

bad idea

When I was a bit younger I did an audition at drama school and didn't get in. I'm quite glad because I have little to no interest in acting now. It's good if you have a major, major interest in acting and live and breath drama because I have heard it is tough. Same for after qualifying. You need to have a huge passion and live and breath the drama profession in order to be successful. If this sounds like you, then do it

Ever heard of autocorrect, especially on an iMac.

iMacs don't have autocorrect... iPads, iPhones, etc. do.

Tbf, you can't really expect people to know best end was meant to be west end. I'm just being pedantic though.
