getting into media- editing
im not long from leaving college, im taking media, art, and sociology and my predicted grades are B's, and C's... i also have 10 GCSE's a-c, and i live in the london area, if this helps. But anyway, when i leave college i really want to get a job in a media company somehow and work my way up to become hopefully a music video editor one day. So can anybody help me, tell me how to get into the industry. anything would be helpful. thanks.

Don't universaties offer you work experience during your course, or at least a book of contacts? Unfortunately you fall into the same trap as thousands of other media students who dive, like lemmings, through the doors of Unis every year thinking that qualifications are the key to success. Let me tell you - they aren't!
Experience and hard work are what make it. (unless of course your dad is the commissioning king pin of channel 4 or such like). Sadly, at the moment you have neither. and a list of qualifications won't help. It's tough to hear, I know, but it's a sad fact that 85% of students who graduate never end up in the career thay had in mind whhen they started the course. Make a nuisance of yourself, Pester people. NEVER GIVE UP!
