To a large extent, it is their individual choices. They went in with their eyes wide open, knowing what the market is like.
If you decided to pursue something like librarian studies without a concrete plan for income, then it is hardly the fault of society if you do not get a job. I have commented on this yesterday and I will post it here again. Not every job will change the world, but often those boring but well paying jobs are more important than the "impactful" careers.

- WJW 5y agoIndividual choice, yes. And it is indeed not the fault of society that some jobs provide less money or security than others. But "they went in knowing what the market is like" is not really true for the vast majority of 18-20 year olds. Most simply do not have enough experience about "adult life" yet to make a rational and informed choice.
