An article in the Infotech today mentioned a student that graduated from Vic with a BCA in Info & E-Commerce but could not get a job since he graduated in October last year. Apparently he had the "wrong degree", graduating with a BCA rather than a BSc or BIT.
Let's face it, having a degree is not a guarantee of a job. Maybe the applicant should have got some part time work experience in the industry while they were a student. I'm sure most employers would view a BCA student favourably if they had some "runs on the board" in their chosen field.
My suggestion to the student, is to be more pro-active and apply for jobs that don't exist, this really shows an employer you want to work for their company.
We don't need these sorts of stories in the press, there is a massive skills shortage and to discourage students from doing a major in Information Systems is ridiculous.
