Work

How is it possible to send everyone to university and expect them to then go on to get the job which they desire?
I think that education opens up opportunity but, our society is producing many graduates that end up leaving university and take up menial jobs that are far under their capabilities, jobs which do not even pay over the threshold for paying back their student loans. University seems like the next natural step and a level that most people these days are achieving, Is a BA or a BSc enough these days to secure that dream job? I do not think so, one needs to progress further and gain huge amounts of experience, and i believe this is where the education system lets people down. They have high expectations, and it is true to say that not everyone can have those high up well paid jobs it is only a few.


Well a true perspective on work is that we wouldn't do it if we saw a way around it, I rarely talk to people that say they enjoy their job, it is more so a means to an end. They feel like a cog in the vast machine, just like Adam Smith suggested and advocated.
