Hard times ahead?

With unemployment on the rise, tuition fees hitting the roof and the added anxiety of a near-impossible housing market, this generation of students and graduates are under more pressure than ever!

At a time when my four years of hard work at university should be starting to pay off, career success and financial security have never seemed further away.

A recent poll undertaken by Cosmopolitan magazine revealed the following:

· 25% of people can't get a foot on the career ladder of their choice

· Nearly 1/3 of people have experienced redundancy or unemployment in the past year

· House prices are stopping 74% of people from being able to own their own home

· 50% of people with degrees wouldn't go to university if they were given the choice again

It may sound dull, but don't be put off! Work harder to make those key contacts, volunteer for work placements and keep a positive mental attitude, all these things will get you closer to your career goals.
