I Really Regret my degree choice which was BA Film Production

I regret doing a BA Film Production Degree as I feel like I can not get anywhere in life with that degree. I would like to work in the advertising/Marketing field but can not see how companies would hire me because the degree in not related and is in Film Production. I don't know what to do.

Many jobs simply ask for a 2.1 in any degree. Have u graduated?

Sounds like you are feeling really flat about things - sorry to hear that. How recently did you graduate? Did you go into the Film Production degree with the intention of focussing on film production only? Or did you always want to do advertising or marketing? Just trying to get a feel for why you're feeling so flat about things atm :-)

Then you've every reason to be positive - because as 1582 says - what matters to employers is that you can show what you learned and what you achieved... but just as important is that you can show your skills are highly transferable and that you're also keen to learn new skills and to develop with them as an organisation. It's all about creativity and adaptability at the end of the day.

I went into the course as i was thinking about having a job in Video Editing but always had Advertising/marketing in the back of my mind.

I am in exactly the same position as you.

I have also nearly finished a Film Production degree intending to have a career in film however I haven't enjoyed it. I am also predicted a 2:1. I suggest you apply for anything and everything that is related to your desired career of advertising. As many others have said no one really cares about your degree subject, providing you have a 2:1, and even if you don't get a 2:1 it isn't the end of the world by any means.

I have (hopefully) secured a place on a grad scheme this year, with a Film Production degree (not advertising or marketing related though) so it is possible to have a career outside of film with a Film Production degree. You can always do a masters in advertising if you would find it helpful.

Did the same thing, minus the advertising/marketing part.

I'm glad I've found someone who is in the same position as me. What is your desired career if you don't mind me asking? Also, I am thinking about doing a MA in Media or Advertising.

Can I ask where you studied please and why you haven't enjoyed it? All the best and take care!

Arts University Bournemouth. Honestly the course was incredibly badly organised and mismanaged, there's more reasons but this is the primary one.

Thank you for replying. I hope you are ok and everything worked out. My 17 yr old son wants to go to the Uk from Australia to study film production but I don’t think there are any jobs…. It must be stressful but just take it each day and try to enjoy it. You are learning and growing and will have a degree at the end! That is amazing! All the best!

There are no jobs for people with degrees...
