So as it turns out, American students aren't the only ones having a hard time starting their post-graduate careers. This video that has been circulating on the European Observer talks of the hardships students are facing in many countries in Europe after they graduate university.
Even with different political systems and sets of societal norms, citizens across the world still face the same problems. Echoed in one of the interviewees is the sentiment we hear in America all the time, that policy makers are simply just working to "strengthen the advantages of the already advantaged."
My food for thought on this blustery winter day: Is it true that youth today really have to curtail back their expectations of achieving the same careers their parents had? And if so, what can we do to help them achieve more?
