There is disputation in the debate, as well as, numerous issues and varied possibilities for a conclusion; This thesis will ask the question are students of theatre and film really prepared to enter the "real-world" of entertainment. Are university studies up-to-date in order to prepare students for this complexed and often ambiguous venture?
