I am not saying either - all I am saying is make your own mind up! To help you , I saw that article yesterday and thought that it was something you should be aware of as it may be one of the reasons lecturers are being a bit vague. Having started your course, It is important that you complete it and complete it with the best grades you are able, because the competition is very hot out there. I am also saying, you need to think about the worst case scenario - if you got your qualification and can't find a job, what then? I would argue that you should, as I said, think laterally, what kind of skills have you developed and where else could you use them to find a job? Some people as it says in the article, use this course as the base to go and do another qualification which your computing may be useful for, where there are more jobs, such as accounting for example, or even the statistical side of consumer analysis, for example. Get the idea?
