Our Graduates
Jacqueline Ann McMillan
Year Graduated: 2000
Current Position: Dining Reviewer for Alternate Media
Who knew writing philosophy and studying feminism could lead to such a fun job eating my way across Sydney for the Alternative Media Group. Every day I thank my lucky stars!
Philosophy taught me how to think, and how to form or refute an argument. Cultural and Critical Studies taught me that meaning can be everywhere and in everything. Womens Studies gave me the balls to demand a fair go. All three combined led me to my dream job with the skills to do it justice, so thank you!
