JAMES: HI. I‘M INTERESTED IN CAREER IN IT AND I‘D LIKE TO ASK JOAN
WHETHER SHE THINKS IT‘S BETTER TO GO TO A HIGHLY
RESPECTED UNIVERSITY, LIKE OXFORD, OR TO STUDY
SOMEWHERE THAT HAS MORE OF A VOCATIONAL FOCUS?
JOAN: WELL, JAMES, YOU KNOW IT REALLY DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU
EXPECT TO GET OUT OF A UNIVERSITY AND HOW YOU SEE YOUR
FUTURE. BASICALLY A HANDFUL OF THE BRIGHTEST GRADUATES
ARE PICKED FROM THE TOP UNIVERSITIES AROUND THE WORLD TO
JOIN THE LEADING IT COMPANIES. SO I‘D SAY IF YOU‘RE A
HIGH-FLYER THEN THIS IS THE ROUTE THAT MIGHT BE FOR YOU.
BUT IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A MORE MAINSTREAM CAREER
THEN YOU SHOULD CONSIDER A COURSE THAT HELPS YOU ACQUIRE
PRACTICAL, TRANSFERABLE SKILLS THAT YOU CAN USE IN THE
WORKPLACE…AND LOOK AT WHICH UNIVERSITIES HAVE THE BEST
LEVELS OF GRADUATE RECRUITMENT FOR THE KIND OF JOB YOU
ARE AIMING FOR.
JAMES: I SEE! THANKS A LOT. THAT REALLY HELPS ME OUT…
