What do undergraduates feel when they are jobless?

Most of the undergraduates find work to support their family and themselves. They study to the highest level so that they can apply for a better job and to be paid with a good salary. However, when undergraduates do not get any job or not being offered with a job, they tend to loose their self-esteem and they tend to think that they are not worth it. Sometimes, they feel they are not being able to help their family financially and this make them feel bad. This is when undergraduates get involved in illegal activities so that they can earn some income and they can support their family. Undergraduates who are jobless sometimes get involved in drugs and snatch thieves in order to earn some money. The society who looks down at undergraduates who are jobless make things worst. The society should give them moral support so that the undergraduates will feel supported and they can try looking for other job. Undergraduates also must not give up easily and they must try looking out for jobs although the job does not match their academic qualification. Undergraduates must not be choosy when looking for a job.

Issues

A job is very important to undergraduates as it gives a positive image to them. This shows that they are eligible for a job. The impact that they might face when they do not have a job is they will have lower self image. They will be looked down by family members, friends and also society. They might feel very stressful and lose hope in searching of job. They also think that they may be lacking of certain skills or they had taken up a wrong course where there are no job demand. The respect from the family members will be less because they might be labeled as "jobless" and cannot support the family.

RQ1: Reasons

I can say that this is one of the possibility that causing the unemployment among local graduates.I'm not blaming at only one side but the mentality of today's graduates that want to find a job that only based on what u learnt in university is certainly cannot be accepted in today's job environment.For some cases,a degree or diploma is only a ticket for the graduates to get into the interview.For example if you have a degree in English,i does mean that you have to apply jobs that relates with teaching or something educational.The graduates can even apply for job at those place such as TV station, business company and many other places.It is during the interview that the graduates have to worry about because for most employee,the interview plays really important part as it is during the interview the employee manages to identify the most qualified and how the graduates carry themselves is that matter the most besides the qualifications.So the graduates should stop being choosy when looking for a job.With today's economy that has slowed down ,the graduates should be aware that it means they have to compete and challenge each other to get into job marketing.These are the global challenges and reality that the graduates have to face and deal with.

RO2: Impacts

1. Occurrence of economy imbalance
2. Increase in the amount of social problems
3. Lack of manpower in certain sectors
4. Gives a negative images towards other countries
