Your education is a very good predictor of your lifetime earnings and the current mess won't last for ever.<br /><br />The survey is published by the HEA but each university collects its own data so they may release some of them separately.Kevin Dennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891633553910348880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38545607.post-35081771632542070282009-12-22T01:02:48.177+00:002009-12-22T01:02:48.177+00:00I agree; although I say that as someone who's ...I agree; although I say that as someone who's putting off that search for another year.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10090877316195988490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38545607.post-3331327665389215872009-12-22T00:13:57.220+00:002009-12-22T00:13:57.220+00:00keith - certainly no evidence that the 3/4 years h...keith - certainly no evidence that the 3/4 years has been wasted. as bad as things are for graduates, facing the current labour market without a qualification would be a lot worse.Liam Delaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905424104233324535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38545607.post-43397004801867434562009-12-21T15:24:49.918+00:002009-12-21T15:24:49.918+00:00Ouch!

Is there a link to the results of that 1st Destinations Survey anywhere?<br /><br />Talking after an exam last week the topic of jobs came up and the prospects for anyone looking for a job don't seem positive. Almost a feeling of 'what a waste of 3/4 years'.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10090877316195988490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38545607.post-40485501358880738162009-12-21T13:48:45.947+00:002009-12-21T13:48:45.947+00:00At first glance, I thought "Well if 12% are u...At first glance, I thought "Well if 12% are unemployed that's close to the national average so not too bad". Then I realized that this data is probably from the 1st Destinations Survey and a big chunk of students are going on to further education and training. So lets say 40% stay on & lets ignore emigration. Then the "unemployment rate" is really 12/60= 20%. That's not too good.Kevin Dennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891633553910348880noreply@blogger.com
