It fascinates me how people lap up bad news over good - Is it schadenfreude or the just the British state of mind?! Take graduate recruitment. I have been interviewed on BBC Radio recently in response to surveys showing lack of jobs for graduates; questioning the "value" of degrees or how graduates are two-a-penny and I counter all these arguments because I see things differently.
Every graduate will find their degree helps them get a job in some form or another. My company, GRB, has launched the successful careers of thousands of highly capable, switched-on graduates and it gives me great satisfaction to use them as examples against the doom and gloom so often portrayed by the media. In fact I relish the opportunity to show the glass is half full and graduates DO go on to lead fantastic, and very influential, careers in their lifetime as a result of their investment in their higher education. So my message to graduates is not to give up, keep trying and you will find your rightful place in this world!
