Live projects, a waste of time..?

4 October, 2006

Why do we do live projects? Why do they have to be alternative? If the majority of students go on to work in commercial practices then shouldn’t the projects reflect this? They could be used as a stepping stone for future jobs, why not? Are we being taken advantage of? OK so it feels good to put something back into the community but as a student wouldn’t it feel better to have enough cash to eat and afford your rent, or to have free printing and model making materials? We’ll be in enough debt by the time we qualify so why shouldn’t we be able to avoid some?

Just to play devils advocate you understand…
