You may think that art students are all on a different wave length to the rest of us…or at the very least under the influence of a substance or two… and now it seems that this attitude is being taken onto their job hunt as they remain completely unfazed by recession.  Some would call it burying their hands in the sand, some would call it stupidity or some would call it faith in one’s own ability, but whatever you call it, it seems that art students attitude towards graduating and finding a job has remained almost completely unchanged according to Andrew Dickson, whilst writing on the Guardian Culture Blog.  Good old Andrew attribute’s their relaxed attitude to the fact that many art graduates have always expected high possibilities of unemployment, for example two thirds of Equity’s (the actors union) members are normally unemployed at any one time.  Perhaps this is the way forward?  Don’t worry about finding a job and live for the moment?  Or, if like me you’re far too anally retentive to let such thoughts enter your mind you should check out these videos.
