wait...what?

No, there are so many unemployed grads because they did surf science, or golf course management. It's the people who take bullshit degrees, or go to crappy universities that then don't get jobs. Who wants to employ a graduate who only got Ds at a level, and then went off to do 3 more years of education, play to your bloody strengths!

That sounds pretty lush anton, what do you do, and what was your degree?

No, I think you're stereotyping. Yes you can get a degree in almost anything, but i've lost count of how many of my friends from school have tried and failed in the 4 years or so since graduating to get a worthwhile job. I'm not talking 2:2's in agricultural paint colours, i'm talking medical students, scientists, engineers..

Nothing wrong with aiming high but not everyone can reach the top. Those that don't end up wasting their time either sulking or working jobs they could have got without the degree, four years sooner, and with a lot less debt.
