Summary:
Half of all graduate students (45%) from 30 UK's top universities see very limited career prospects according to a survey.
Apparently last year graduates took most of the vacancies. From the survey, 26% of all students plan to study further, 16% plan to travel and 14% are undecided. 8% intend to do some voluntary work. That leaves only 36% who are going to intend to start looking for a job after graduation.
The survey found graduates in 2010 expected to owe an average of £17,900, up from £15,700 in 2009 and £11,600 in 2008.
And this, while the salary expectations for law students are the highest in rank following by computing and IT students, engineering students and business and finance students. The lowest salary expectations ly for languages students.
"The recession may be officially over, but, with a record number of students due to complete degrees in the coming weeks and tens of thousands of last year's graduates still looking for work, there is widespread concern on campus that competition for graduate jobs has never been fiercer."
Reaction:
I think because of the economical crisis students are confronted to work extra hard for their education while there is a low expectation for a prospective successful career. To me it seems demotivating if you are a graduate students of one of UK's top universities, knowing that you have little chances for a job, let stand a proper salary to pay your school debts. Too bad for the language students, like us to be English teachers, who work hard to educate these future brilliant top university student while receiving the lowest salary.
