As Gen Z are complaining about lack of jobs now, Gen X and many Millennials never faced this joblessness. All they needed was to go to university and they were assured of a job. In fact, it is said that some blue chips and corporations used to recruit from the lecture halls. They used to contact the universities for a list of top students even before final exams, get their details and immediately after final semester exams, the students would be taken in to work using the transcripts as they wait for graduation. I hear many graduands took time off from work to attend their graduation ceremonies, and many ended up with multiple job offers in good companied. Others were getting absorbed immediately after graduation. I heard of cases where some top students had to ask for time off after graduation to spend some free time and take a rest before reporting to jobs. In the mix, the government was also competing with the big companies for graduates, same to universities for those to go for masters. I wonder what will happen to Gen Alpha in the coming years. Many will have to create jobs and employ themselves and others. That will be the only way to go.
