Whether the opportunities created for postgraduate students to have a job is now a controversial topic in modern society. Some people believe that there is not sufficient job for graduates to access the labor market, which will result in many consequences in higher education’s population. Personally, I suppose this point of view is totally untrue.
Many people think that students who have graduated from university will have the tendency to seek jobs so as to benefit from hands-on experience. Because of the chance for having a place in the employment market, they tend to accumulate more knowledge as well as job skills acquired during the time they will be working as apprentices. Therefore, they will be overkill with their work and they will prioritize working. As a result, they will not register higher education.
However, I would say that the work market is currently a competitive game in which people have to try their best for having a job, so the low vacancy rate is not only the cause of the reduction in the number of people attending higher education, but it is also the motivation for job seekers to upgrade their curriculum vitae. It is necessary for them to be more outstanding and have an up-and-coming talent in order to be chosen. Thus, graduates prefer enrolling higher education. In addition, fewer job opportunities, which means jobless rate will upsurge so people tend to be free and they will register higher education. That can help them create more chance to have well-paid jobs later.
In short, the demand for higher education does not relate to job shortage among fresh graduates.
