Welcome to FT, smashley! Congrats on your new job! ^

I will graduate with double degrees in Arts (political science) and Law. But I'm also looking at something in the travel industry. Been researching on traveltrade and travelweekly.

I was looking at the Qantas graduate program (corporate stream) but I'm not sure if my lack of Business qualifications will hinder me. My dream job would be to work in public affairs/government relations/corporate communications or marketing at Qantas though, but I think the former would be rare and I'd have to be very high up in the organisation or something. I do have significant experience in campaigning/lobbying in my current job otoh so that might work to my advantage.

So I was also looking at jobs in travel agents, and the majority of them require industry experience. The only ones that don't are trailfinders and STA Travel so I guess I might try my luck in those.

I also thought of a Masters in Aviation Industry Management as I thought it'd help me when I'm applying for an airline job but the courses I came across require '2 years minimum' work experience of some sort. They didn't specify that it has to be full time work experience though so I'm not sure if my part time work while at uni will count...

My law lecturers think I'm out of my mind. I'm a year to graduation now and I'm freaked out over what to do post-undergrad...
