All Schooled Up and Nowhere to Go

Sure it is. One of the biggest gripes that seem to be coming from the "occupy" movement, is that kids that have graduated from college, either can't find a job, or don't feel like like it, and they don't want to have pay back their student loans.

Down here the University trend (appears) to be to increase the number of people taking cheap courses (business, art, graphics design, etc) while decreasing the number of people taking expensive courses (such as engineering, science, etc), while at the same time concentrating more on in house research programs.

This all results in less engineering and skilled trade students over more business and web design students (all in the name of making the Universities more money). Is it any wonder hundreds and hundreds of students taking business or web design (for example) cannot find jobs here because the market is flooded and there just plain aren't enough jobs available, meanwhile the quantity and quality of engineering graduates declines making finding good skilled (knowledgeable, driven with some practical experience) engineers difficult.

How about changing the title to "All Schooled Up and Entering the Workforce Unemployable"

Here it is a similar problem but recently the internet listed the top jobs that were hiring and they all began with an E(ngineering).

Yes! It has been a wide spread phenomenon here in India for the past few years. Definitely, the quality of engineering education has come down with the mushrooming of engineering institutions - what with one province alone has more than 750 engineering colleges offering graduation and post gradutaion level courses in engineering. Having been a trainer who also trains engineering students, I have been finding it that today's engineering graduate students don't even know the basics of their subject.

Moreover, with the trend in industry towards automation, dependency on manual labour is lesser & lesser.
