Yeah I completely agree with this. There is an attitude just like this in England at the moment. There aren't enough graduates using their initiative and being creative in either finding jobs or making work for themselves to fight the declining level of jobs. The assumption is, leave school, go to University, get a job. Unfortunately for them that route is failing now.
- UK-Al05 15y agoYou certainly have better chance at getting job by going to university; unemployment rate is higher for non-grads. Also running your own business is not as easy as it seems; especially without the connections to get the contracts. Expecting the graduates to work for themselves straight out of university is unrealistic.
- robryan 15y agoIn the past, when less people were attending university, this would be true as in getting a degree you were putting yourself into a fairly exclusive group. Now though, when so many are getting degrees, you need to go above and beyond them to put yourself in a group as exclusive as the degree would give you a generation ago.
- zoltarSpeaks 15y agoYeah i think you're spot on, it's that ability to shine out from the crowd that is required. Although i guess the exclusivity of being a graduate could easily return with recent hike up in fees within the last couple of years.
