The ever-expanding aspects of the Internet have produced new employment opportunities as a result of the need for new media experts. However, many current new media employees have mentioned the drawback of the constant change of the Internet and the necessity of ‘learning how to learn’ (Gill, 2007, 38).
It’s clear that certain personal traits are required for those looking to work within new media as the need to like learning and the necessity to live on little money are frequently mentioned. The fact that after we graduate we might eventually end up right back where we are is quite daunting to consider. Especially when current media workers are mentioning a common issue of lack of money and certain education may include fees.
Within my New Media unit we have learnt about the new opportunities technology improvements are providing. Though this is creating greater employment prospects, the never-ending updates to the media that have been mentioned frequently unfortunately mean media employees can never stop learning.
So if you are considering a career within the media but you don’t particularly like learning you may have to re-think this or learn how to like learning. But if you love the media and you enjoy learning, this job may just be perfect for you. So go out and get it!
