Following on from comment on last thread someone made about not wanting their kids to get into debt to the tune of £15k studying English, just to end up doing someone's admin for the next 30 years.

DH studied History and is a Lawyer

I studied Law and I am in IT

Go figure!

Electrical engineering, worked in the industry for 2 years then started own business - which went tits up (can you say that on MN?)after 3 months! Have been running various business ever since.

Would find it very hard to wear a tie and suit to work now!

Graduated 20 years ago but I still have the dream where I panic about starting Finals revision too late!

Fellow grads in EE now all work in IT or city. Manufacturing in the UK has been in decline ever since I graduated.

I was wondering if he knew of any decent websites about Graphic Design Modernists. I have to chose an image to analyse and i'm finding it really difficult
to source information.

Thankyou for asking him, i appreciate it.
