First impressions, however, can be deceiving. As most house sellers understand the importance of curb appeal as well, they, for example, will whitewash the walls, mow the lawn, trim the roses, so on and so forth just before putting their house up for sale. And if you are overwhelmed by the house’s curb appeal, or how beautiful it looks from outside, you may overlook the fact that it has only one bathroom. You have always been looking for a second bathroom (for guests) but, in your enthusiasm, have forgotten about it altogether when you put pen to paper and signed the contract. You’ll regret this, of course, henceforth.
To sum up, curb appeal is important. When facing someone/something with curb appeal, however, curb your enthusiasm.
Here are two media examples:
1. When it comes to reputation, is media studies the BP of the degree world?
Regularly berated — after all Cambridge University once branded the subject a ‘soft’ option — and dismissed as a Mickey Mouse degree, media studies just doesn’t have the curb appeal of a ‘traditional’ science subject or a ‘solid’ law degree.
Frustrating, of course, for the 5,160 people who started studying for this qualification last year — yet, for all the bad press it gets, it seems graduates from this subject are proving the naysayers wrong as they use their qualifications to pursue a wide range of successful careers.
After all, such courses have helped produce the likes of former Channel 4 chief executive Michael Jackson, Sunday Times editor John Witherow and Blue Peter presenter Andy Akinwolere.
