Transcript

Joe, a student: My name is Joe Casey and I’m studying professional writing and editing at TAFE Gippsland. I decided to start my course because a few years ago I had learnt that I had lost some more of my hearing, I currently have 2 hearing aids. I already have a degree in furniture design, and I was doing quite well. And then I decided to move away from that industry, get away from the noise mainly. I started professional writing with the idea of working in an office and being in a quieter environment for my particular situation. But now that I’m halfway through the course, I found that being creative helps me, ah, get out my creativity. Otherwise, that bottles up and sometimes you just want to explode. So, I’m finding it’s better for me creative. than it is professionally. I think it’s important to give feedback, particularly to learning facilities because it helps them keep up to date with what’s available out there and to give you a better education.
