Dear All

Apparently almost 25% of call centre staff in Britain have at least a first Degree.  I am sure we all know of people with Degrees working in areas well below their ability, and for wages well below the National average.

Seriously, I think if the changes for progress never come, and they struggle constantly to get secure employment - was it worth the money? 

It is all very well MPs, Ministers etc saying 'Well they can pay back their student loans out of the higher wages they are going to earn in these future well paid jobs'.

What if many Graduates never get these well paid jobs?  If these well paid jobs were never there to get in the first place?

I was unemployed after my first degree and when I eventually got work it was only ever short term temporary. During and after my masters, it was the same story (I specifically did a PhD for the funding) and now the funding for the PhD has ended and I've had 4 job rejections in the last couple of weeks and no prospect of a job in sight....
