My Least Favorite Thing About Wittenberg

Remember when getting a degree qualified you for a job? Yep, doesn't seem to be the case any longer. I would think a BA Studio Art degree with a concentration in graphic design and photography would teach me the skills I would need to get a job in Advertising, especially when I have been paying 100 of thousands of dollars for an education. However, the required courses for this major have not prepared me for a career in my area of expertise. Sadly, enough.

The jobs I am seeking are graphic design positions. I am highly knowledgeable in the Adobe Creative Suites programs, which would make me fit for any print job. Then there is the whole realm of web design, which hasn't even been covered during my career at Wittenberg. I now am unprepared for the real world, because Wittenberg is short-staffed in the Art department. There are simply not enough teachers who have the knowledge to teach the information, let alone have the time to teach it to a class. There is one professor for all photography and graphic design courses. I would have to say this has been my least favorite thing about Wittenberg. I just wish someone would have warned me. Isn't that what advisors are for?
