self-employed graduates // hectic halloween

This week the News Empire team takes a look at life after graduation for two self-employed Glasgow Uni alums and the scenes from a busy City Centre costume shop on the day before Halloween.

Headlines All of the breaking international, national and local news.

Read by Louise Pollock and Benzo Harris.

Self-Employed Graduates Stuart and Jon are both Glasgow Uni graduates who have bucked the trend of finding employment with a company, opting to start their own business instead. Stuart, a photographer, and Jon, a custom stereo appliance craftsman, talk about the benefits of a degree as well as the stresses and rewards of being self-employed.

Reporting by Benzo Harris.

A Hectic Halloween The setting: Sauchiehall Street. The scene: a costume shop packed to the gills. The time? The day before Halloween! Emotions range from confidence to desperation and bewilderment to bemusement as the store sells out each day by four and there is a one in one out policy at the door.

Reporting by Alison Burns and Benzo Harris.
