There are fewer employment opportunities for graduates. Do you agree? It is hard to deny the ongoing changes occurring in the job market nowadays. Although people is higher educated at present, this trend is not resulting in better working conditions, so I fully agree with the statement. First and foremost, technological progress has had an effect on the kind of jobs companies are recently demanding. There are an increasing number of job positions that can not be filled due to the lack of preparation. Another factor that has contributed to threat graduates' future is the financial crisis. The massive unemployment caused by the economic crash has increased the level of competition among workers. In some cases, being overqualified was considered a handicap for the higher job expectations implied, so many people have rather hidden their real education to obtain a job, as is my case. Given the prospects for the labor force in a changing market, lots of the current careers are at the edge of extinction. This trend can be observed in the declining number of students enrolling humanity studies, which are considered useless for a technically featured job market. Subsequently, the university needs yet to adapt to this new reality. Nevertheless, this doesn't necessarily mean to strengthen ties with multinationals, or at least it's not the only solution. In my opinion, the university could transform existing careers to meet the new working needs, and also, create new studies according to this reality. Naturally, by so doing, it could still lead the path for individual success in society.
