Ashleigh Sadler graduated from Sheffield Hallam University with a degree in graphic design in the summer. She thinks her university could have prepared students more about the developments of AI and how difficult it would be to find a job after graduating.<\/p>\n
“AI is damaging for small businesses, and it is taking opportunities away from designers. It’s worrying when you’re trying to break out in the industry,” she said.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old from Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire, said she was almost tempted to retrain as a paramedic, as the job hunt proved difficult with fewer companies willing to hire staff.<\/p>\n
“I’ve put all this effort in, studying for five years for AI to come round now. It made me question the degree and think, ‘What have I been doing all this work for?'”<\/p>\n
Now working at a marketing agency company, she said she was “really grateful” to have secured a job, as she knew a lot of people who were struggling to find work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ashleigh Sadler graduated from Sheffield Hallam University with a degree in graphic design in the summer.
