I am writing with a heavy heart over the growing unemployment crisis in our country.
Despite earning a Master’s degree, which should have been a mark of achievement, it feels hollow in the face of the anaemic job market. It is a rude awakening to learn that I am now part of the statistics.
I had hoped that my previous work experience would make a different, but after countless applications – and even seeking help from the authorities – I haven’t heard from any of them.
I’m left wondering if all my efforts have been in vain, or if companies only take notice if you have decades of experience.
How can young graduates, like me, gain experience when the door to the job market remains firmly shut?
It’s disheartening to see my dreams stall even before they begin. I spent years working towards the degree, believing that it would open doors. Instead, I find myself locked out of the very opportunities that I have worked so hard for.
I’m left questioning my worth and the value of my education in a system that seems indifferent to the struggles of fresh graduates. Every rejection chips away at the hope I once had for my future.
Demotivated Graduate
