When headlines scream upto 40,000 graduates will be jobless, you can't help but think the following:
- Polly Curtis must have a PhD in how to demoralise exam taking finalists, what with her perfect timing around and job application frenzy that happens at uni around this time every year. This sort of article is just the thing to have rattling around in your head come that tricky final exam. Where before we used to have to put up with anxious students loitering outside examination halls gibbering "Oh do you think they will have Piaget on this paper? I hope they do..." we can now enjoy the same people going on about "Oh do you think you will be able to find a job. 40 thousand grads unemployed!".
-She must also be simultanously working on her MBA project in irritating anyone who has to work come graduation. You know. To survive. Apparently The classic UK student response to a recession is 'I'm off to Thailand'." The classic response from me to anyone who would say that is "Fuck off".
- At least Lorraine Kelly, Jeremy Kyle and other daytime TV presenters will be happier with a bigger audience.
- What happens when next years hopeful grads come out of the grinder into work and have to compete with the above 40,000 graduates? If things haven't picked up economically there will be 80,000, and so on and so on every year until the whole of the British population eventually is made up of unemployed graduates.
Maybe not.
-Admit it. You did think "I wonder how many of those are psychology students?" Didn't you?

I am glad you thought that same as I did when reading that article! It does rather give the impression that there is no point to anything and we all might as well just give up.
Fuck off indeed ;)
