The 2009 University intake was almost half a million new students. Let's assume that in 3 - 4 years time there will be 400,000 new graduates looking for jobs. Do we really need that many more graduates? When I was a lad, graduates could expect a higher wage than non-graduates because we were a rarity (not necessarily any better than those people who'd left school and been working for a few years by the time we graduated). Now, jobs that would have been filled by school-leavers in the 'old days' are now being taken by graduates, This has a twofold knock on effect; firstly, being a graduate doesn't necessarily mean getting anything other than a low paid job; secondly, all the school leavers are now even further back in the jobs queue. It doesn't quite make sense to me!!
Your Friday questions are: -
- Who became king today in 1901?
- Actor John Hurt (right) was born today in 1940 and played which real life character in the 2009 TV biopic "An Englishman in New York"?
- Which vaccine was declared safe by the British Government today in 2001?
