Judging by the interviews held with Emma and Shiubhan, young people who are looking to break into the creative industries are both interesting and a little frustrated, which I guess is one of the driving factors behind this whole project.
Although I'm only at the very beginning of my research a couple of recurring themes have already come up:
- London; If you go there it will help (or at least that's what people think).
- Experience; You'll only get a job if you already have experience of said job (I think this is a bit chicken and eggish but I'm not sure if that's the right metaphor)
- It helps to know someone in the business/company.
