Q: I currently work as a producer for a national radio station and looking to gain more experience in the industry either through studying further or doing a radio exchange with a foreign based station. I have a Honours degree in Journalism and the next step would be to pursue a Masters, also funding is a big issue. Please can you assist!
A: A Career in the radio industry rocks, no pun intended, entering the industry after obtaining a degree/qualification focussed on media or journalism is the study route that makes sense. The list of careers range from producing, presenting, technical support, etc...check out the UK based Creative Skillset website for a breakdown of the industry. However it is the experience that one picks up in-studio that earns the "real" credit, furthering your studies or finding an exchange program with another station would be a great way to expand on (in this case) your already built career.

The business of bicycle fashion and safety
What was initially a submission as an Industrial Design Masters thesis in 2005, brought about the business now called Hövding which means “….chief/chieftain/leader in Swedish” says Terese Alstin one of the two founding members of Hövding. “We wanted to choose a Swedish word to show the origin of the product.” Terese continues.
With compatriot Anna Haupt, the two Swedes created a business that tackles bicycle safety with the flavour of fashion. Something that was desperately needed in the market place.

Remember Renton played by Ewan McGregor in the movie Trainspotting. McGregor’s character was seen running around trying to find his way through life, the movie was laced with drugs, recklessness and an underlying tone of a lack of choices. Trainspotting became a cult classic in the 90’s, it made McGregor a household name, it created an awareness of the affects of drugs on young individuals and it raised questions about societies youth. So what has changed since then…
Take Notes- A youth crisis is on it's way!
Not much it seems with education, money, employment and life choices, still being crucial issues striking the decision makings of many a young individual and not just in local environments but on a global scale. Global economies are failing to cater for young individuals who in the future will be handling the reins of these actual economies. University debt, savings, unemployment are just hyped up words that are being used flirtatiously instead of addressing a problem that is youth unemployment. Instead the challenge that is youth unemployment has now collapsed into a sphere that is a youth crisis.
