Business and Entrepreneurship More Attractive for Graduates.

When I left university I spent months working different jobs.   It can be tough finding work these days for quite obvious reasons, but back then I was kind of just wandering, trying to find something to do.   Business and entrepreneurship were a million miles away…

This report offers a stark warning that jobs are becoming hard to find for all job seekers.   We knew that the degree system was being devalued, but I think this news shows just how quickly the academic world is becoming, well, less relevant.

Academia is needed, but not in the same way it used to be.   This has nothing to do with a government’s theories about industry, but a lot to do with the way the world is changing.

So while we can sympathise with those graduates who cannot find work, we can also appreciate the fact that immediately applicable skills are now becoming more important than ever.   Entrepreneurs will find it easier to raise money because they can add quick value to the economy.   Businesses will live or die by the passion they contain.   And if you have a degree in anything, even the top level subjects, your chances will be lessened, sadly.

Any thoughts?
