University Graduates Failing to find their desired role in a competitive Job Market
Prince William’s future wife has been criticised for failing to use her higher education from St Andrews to get herself a conventional graduate career. However how many of you can say that you use your degree within your job role.
Coming from the Fraser Allander Commentary, two pieces of research that show there is a marked mismatch between graduates degrees and the jobs they get. Six months after graduating, a lot of young people are still flipping burgers at Mc Donald’s and wondering when they’re going to get on with their lives by making use of their qualifications.
Across the UK 78 per cent of those within one degree were still not in a job that matched the skill level reached after 42 months. Therefore the question is, are there over qualification and under-employment problems within the UK and the answer would be 'yes'.
Many degrees are not used to their full potential, and many people are finding jobs in specialties they have not studied for and millions of pounds is being spent on training. The government is investing resource in that as well, yet with University tuition Fees moving to a more personal funding of one’s higher education, then the burden and cost of the inefficient use of resource will fall across more households.
