Many uni degrees becoming worthless

Many university degrees heading on path to obscurity, says global accounting firm.

 

Agreed.

 

I never understood how journalism came to be a university course.

 

It’s much better to slog it out in the newsroom as a copy person, then a cadet. Nothing beats the grind of real work to develop ... work skills.

 

PS: I worked with a professor who touted himself as a social media expert (still does) yet had never blogged or tweeted.

Reputation. Many still don't "get it".

So many words and examples, so little notice taken. I'm talking about reputation and issues management. 

In this day and age, little escapes scrutiny, yet major corporations and (in this case) sports clubs just don't get it. 

Here in Western Australia, the Fremantle Dockers (a national Australian Football Club) is (badly) dealing with the fallout from alleged issues of sexual misconduct by its coach. 

Apparently, the club reached a confidential $100,000 settlement with a former female employee. The club continues to remain tight-lipped and, consequently, the matter will not rest. 

Now, as second incident has come to light (see link). The way forward is simple: "come clean", "fess-up". Tell the truth. 

Sponsors, rightly, become jittery when they see their brands being tarnished. 

The ball is with the Dockers. Whether they kick it in the right direction is up to them.
