Especially with mechanical as the skills you learn could get you into any industry wether it he automation or aerospace.
@@egoamigo-1377 Of course, there is always exception. It is true that sometimes engineering graduates are highly sought after by other industries as well. A good example would be prestigious employers in financial services / Investment Banking sectors. However, these jobs are always fiercely competitive and most engineering graduates would never get a chance for interview. I still think civil engineering has the best job security and prospects in Australia as compared to other specializations.

Anyone who is choosing a degree course needs to check what it might qualify them for in industry. Many colleges get their funding based on the number of students that they recruit, as a result they may be tempted to offer degree courses that are interesting and bring in numbers rather than providing a route to good jobs.
Uni grads are young workers (mostly aged 20-30) so are in the age group where work has generally trended from full-time to part-time for that age group, regardless of education level. So the rate of graduates getting FT employment is probably pretty constant from 2008 to 2018 when compared to the overall rate of FT vs PT employment for that age cohort. ie. It's not the graduates FT employment rate is dropping off per se, but that FT employment rate for 20-30 year olds has dropped off between 2008 and 2018 across the board (regardless of education level). BTW you do tertiary education for reasons other than just getting a FT job - I did my first science degree to be able get a job in a field that I found interesting, but I then did a couple of post grad dips and a couple of masters degrees studying part-time 'for fun' (aka 'lifelong learning') while I was working full-time. You don't do tertiary study purely for the $$$. On a purely financial level you could probably do just a well to do a trade qualification and be earning at a younger age than if you do a uni degree and don't enter the work force for several more years, but whether or not that is the best choice depends on whether you are suited to a trade, an office job, self-employment or whatever.

10% of law graduates get a job in law, and of those half are due to strong connections - e'g. your father is the partner of a law firm and has a colleague from another law firm who will take you on.

@@pinetworkminer8377 I am in South Australia. Universities have to compete hard for students so they certainly dont advertise that there are no jobs at the end of it. In class, when a student directly asked the lecturer about job prospects, he replied by saying that its a good idea to do a double degree. So the law students I have known, have converted to a double degree in marketing and gotten jobs in marketing when they have gotten out. If you are a law students, do your very best to get the best grades you can as that is what employers of law graduates look for. Also, get whatever experience you can. Your university probably has a legal clinic where law students can get experience. Try to be part of that. Having said that, I live in South Australia that has the worst employment of any Australian states. Opportunities are a bit better in other states. Another thing - unlike medicine or veterinary medicine, it is very cheap for the university to produce law graduates. All they have to do is supply students with a bunch of computers in the library. So they take in way to many students for the job market.
Any University degree must be included the term engineer. What ever that is.the term engineer ensures long term work. Medical engineer, analictical engineer, structural engineer, bio engineer, think anything put engineer after it will get the job.
Wanna improve the job market? Please get rid of ALL useless, sub-standard and overly commercialised universities first. Reduce number of uni will reduce a huge number of graduate, and in return better job market. Those who cannot or aren't supposed to get into uni should do vocational training and become self-employed later (and better).
Sometimes as I learn it and sort it out. My advice is while doing your degree is to do work experience while study to get further into the competition of employment. Trust me it helps a lot.
The reason to get a degree is to secure a better job. So follow your passion and hope you will get something at the end is a devastating advice. We must put the prospects of finding a real job as a higher priority, better leave your silly and unpractical passion as hobby.
It’s kinda bs right, the “performing well” degrees are just w/e it’s based off your grades whilst studying for your placement, for creative arts etc. it’s based off of you getting out there and networking, Building merit and selling yourself.

It’s all subject. Do what you want, who cares if it’s not the best thinks to make money! That’s just bs. Ask yourself this. Do you work to live ? Or live to work. What’s your passion. Do what you love. You only need 40k per year to live happy, 75k and your able to live easy. It’s upto you.
@Saroj M during the Great Depression in the US, industrial companies were having to lay off staff due to insufficient funds, and of course black people were seen as inferior back in 1920s meaning they were the “first fired” in most cases ( usually if the boss was white). This went the other way, when jobs were created white people were always prioritised over black people due to racism and as stated before inferiority. So hence the term created “ last hired first fired”.
Courses are offered based on what people want to do ...not what someone else thinks you should do to secure employment Universities are businesses Not daycare, be smarter
It is definitely NOT smart to get into $100,000 of debt for a Masters degree and then find that you cannot get a job anywhere, because everyone else has a degree. All students like to think that paying off this debt will be a breeze. You really have no idea what the real world is like.

@@26declanjones no it’s correct because lets take 3 years as an example and say it got 40% harder in year 2 than year 1.

University degrees are scams. Even a decade ago, if you didn't score the university medal or good enough to be on the dean's list, you're nothing. When applying to graduate jobs, only about 10% of applicants usually get those jobs anyway. The rest have a hard life trying to score part time roles which are unrelated to their degrees. If you're good enough for first class honours, you might stay on to do a PhD and then on to an academic job, which probably explains why the professors are there in the first place, because they can't get jobs.

If you want to study STEM degrees, stick with civil engineering or computer science. Other STEM degrees normally don’t lead to a job in Australia.
what about mechanical engineering
@@kda3113 Don’t listen to the guy above. Engineering degree regardless of its titles (electrical, mechanical, software etc) will always be more employable than those without it. Employers recognises that anyone who undertakes engineering are often problem solvers and hard-workers, skill sets extremely valuable to businesses. Especially with mechanical as the skills you learn could get you into any industry wether it he automation or aerospace.
@@egoamigo-1377 Of course, there is always exception. It is true that sometimes engineering graduates are highly sought after by other industries as well. A good example would be prestigious employers in financial services / Investment Banking sectors. However, these jobs are always fiercely competitive and most engineering graduates would never get a chance for interview. I still think civil engineering has the best job security and prospects in Australia as compared to other specializations.
Pretty simple really, if the jobs aren't available in Australia go overseas for them... which is no doubt what many do!
i guess you never work overseas. your degree cert may not be recognised overseas, and they don't want to hire someone who requires a work permit if possible. so finding a job overseas is a dream to most. wake up bro!
@@SW-fy8pq I understand this and this is why I work so hard in my degree so that I can get a PhD which is internationally recognised.
@@brentoneccles I would highly recommend you consider China for your PhD, the reasons are 1) much better job prospect. 2) full scholarship including living expenses are available (depends on your result).
@@SW-fy8pq haha... I would like a PhD to get as far north (Scandinavia or Russia) as I can away from the likely coming conflict.
@@brentoneccles Contrary to many belief, I do not think China and US will start a big war. US will not dare to do so, the cost is too huge. To me, studying degree must be able to secure a job, otherwise what is the point of studying at uni? Places like Russia and Scandinavia may not have as many as opportunity as China.
Ive been graduated since 2018 I didn’t go to uni straight away thought I could get a job in film/tv by doing small jobs and building my way up, not thinking a degree was useful at first but after no luck I’m completing a degree in multimedia, journalism and writing, There’s lots of work in this area in broad casting and reporting, a degree is worth it if your passionate, and in the long run it’s worth it
did u gradgitate yet or u drop out
@@johnny_phouc_21Learned English yet?
Anyone who is choosing a degree course needs to check what it might qualify them for in industry. Many colleges get their funding based on the number of students that they recruit, as a result they may be tempted to offer degree courses that are interesting and bring in numbers rather than providing a route to good jobs.
Uni grads are young workers (mostly aged 20-30) so are in the age group where work has generally trended from full-time to part-time for that age group, regardless of education level. So the rate of graduates getting FT employment is probably pretty constant from 2008 to 2018 when compared to the overall rate of FT vs PT employment for that age cohort. ie. It's not the graduates FT employment rate is dropping off per se, but that FT employment rate for 20-30 year olds has dropped off between 2008 and 2018 across the board (regardless of education level).
BTW you do tertiary education for reasons other than just getting a FT job - I did my first science degree to be able get a job in a field that I found interesting, but I then did a couple of post grad dips and a couple of masters degrees studying part-time 'for fun' (aka 'lifelong learning') while I was working full-time. You don't do tertiary study purely for the $$$.
On a purely financial level you could probably do just a well to do a trade qualification and be earning at a younger age than if you do a uni degree and don't enter the work force for several more years, but whether or not that is the best choice depends on whether you are suited to a trade, an office job, self-employment or whatever.
Well said Ralph..
Lol well there goes my 5 years of study ....
begs the question what did you study and did you ever get a job in that field?
Substantial number of Pacific Island workers with bachelors and masters degrees buried their certificates and now recruited by Aussie farmers to work in the farm and the meat industry. Aussies should have the balls to do that too.
10% of law graduates get a job in law, and of those half are due to strong connections - e'g. your father is the partner of a law firm and has a colleague from another law firm who will take you on.
Only 10%?! Even if you graduate with a JD degree?
No wtf it’s like 85% at my uni lol which means even a lot of the study who perform below average are finding industry jobs all of which will put you in a good position if you stick with it
@@pinetworkminer8377 I am in South Australia. Universities have to compete hard for students so they certainly dont advertise that there are no jobs at the end of it. In class, when a student directly asked the lecturer about job prospects, he replied by saying that its a good idea to do a double degree. So the law students I have known, have converted to a double degree in marketing and gotten jobs in marketing when they have gotten out. If you are a law students, do your very best to get the best grades you can as that is what employers of law graduates look for. Also, get whatever experience you can. Your university probably has a legal clinic where law students can get experience. Try to be part of that. Having said that, I live in South Australia that has the worst employment of any Australian states. Opportunities are a bit better in other states. Another thing - unlike medicine or veterinary medicine, it is very cheap for the university to produce law graduates. All they have to do is supply students with a bunch of computers in the library. So they take in way to many students for the job market.
The stats would be much worse for anybody without a university degree, so it's all good.
Any University degree must be included the term engineer.
What ever that is.the term engineer ensures long term work.
Medical engineer, analictical engineer, structural engineer, bio engineer, think anything put engineer after it will get the job.
Interesting that Law was not in either best or worst group.
Law belongs to social sciences
Wanna improve the job market? Please get rid of ALL useless, sub-standard and overly commercialised universities first. Reduce number of uni will reduce a huge number of graduate, and in return better job market. Those who cannot or aren't supposed to get into uni should do vocational training and become self-employed later (and better).

That’s because you have good problem-solving, communication and analytical skills that the degree taught you. Can’t deny it.
Most BA graduates in those type of companies end up as paid online troll of liberal and leftists politicians.

Who cares what the outcomes of individuals are?
The overall trend is more important
Why the push for STEM courses, if they have no clear pathway and low job prospects?
Do Australians believe 73% graduates found job require their related degree study?
Sometimes as I learn it and sort it out. My advice is while doing your degree is to do work experience while study to get further into the competition of employment. Trust me it helps a lot.

The report is by a uni and they're talking to a uni rep - they did market research for their revenue. Not practical industry and business analysis.
The *STRESS* may be a good reason for a lot of people to not continue formal education, keep reading and learning though :)
I did three degrees at Universities in Adelaide and could not get a permanent job after completion and I was not yet 50. My HECS debt remains unpaid.
Yet another media talking heads bs. If I want to study what my passion is, going to a library is the best choice and it's free.
I wish I had your work ethic, I need knowledge spoon fed to me with buddies around me doing the same.
@@nusaibahslife That's ok too, as long as you don't go into unpayable debt for it.
The reason to get a degree is to secure a better job. So follow your passion and hope you will get something at the end is a devastating advice. We must put the prospects of finding a real job as a higher priority, better leave your silly and unpractical passion as hobby.
So everyone supposed to hate their life
Honest Facts.. 👍👍 They'd only learn when life hits them, some still remain dum to realise what they missed out on.
I must have missed something. Does education only equal vocational training now? Menzies would be turning in his grave.
Well this is annoying
don't study environmental engineering.. no one will hire you. I got no job for 2yrs 2 months.
It’s kinda bs right, the “performing well” degrees are just w/e it’s based off your grades whilst studying for your placement, for creative arts etc. it’s based off of you getting out there and networking,
Building merit and selling yourself. They’re every different, myself I studied audio engineering and now I live in Miami Florida having a great time, I may not earn 6+ figures but I tell you, I’ve had more life than most. It’s all subject. Do what you want, who cares if it’s not the best thinks to make money! That’s just bs. Ask yourself this. Do you work to live ? Or live to work. What’s your passion. Do what you love. You only need 40k per year to live happy, 75k and your able to live easy. It’s upto you.
Last hired first fired is a term from the Great Depression in reference to black people (fun fact)
@Saroj M during the Great Depression in the US, industrial companies were having to lay off staff due to insufficient funds, and of course black people were seen as inferior back in 1920s meaning they were the “first fired” in most cases ( usually if the boss was white). This went the other way, when jobs were created white people were always prioritised over black people due to racism and as stated before inferiority. So hence the term created “ last hired first fired”.
As a one legged, pan sexual, albino midget, I have to say that I am offended by this. I demand gender studies program be free!
Lmao
Courses are offered based on what people want to do ...not what someone else thinks you should do to secure employment

Meanwhile most of the world record 98% youth unemployment rate after graduation 🤦🏻♂️.
It is definitely NOT smart to get into $100,000 of debt for a Masters degree and then find that you cannot get a job anywhere, because everyone else has a degree. All students like to think that paying off this debt will be a breeze. You really have no idea what the real world is like.

"Increasingly harder"? Someone never learnt basic grammar...
umm this is kinda awkward but the grammar is correct."someone never learnt basic grammar"
@@elli1080 hahaha Wow super awkward because unfortunately you are incorrect. The use of the word "harder" in this context already implies an increase on the word "hard". Therefore within the context of the statement "increasingly harder", the harder creates a tautology. The correct grammatical phrase would have been either simply "harder" or "increasingly hard". Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...
@@26declanjones Cry.
@@26declanjones So true
@@26declanjones no it’s correct because lets take 3 years as an example and say it got 40% harder in year 2 than year 1. Now if the next gap or Y3 had the same 40% hardness growth than Y2, then that would be “increasing hard” because both years are increasing in a harder and SAME pace. BUT if its 40% harder in Y2 than Y1 and 60% harder in Y3 than Y2 then the level of hardness is increasing harder than how hard it was already increasing before each year hence “increasingly harder” is correct lol. Simply put, it Means its just getting harder by the year

to maximise your chances it's better to follow a degree with a clear vocational pathway. That degree in surfing is probably not going to cut
it. Even if you want to be a pro surfer you are better to skip classes and surf. As the report showed even science and maths degrees are not
necessarily a good investment despite the frequent claims of skills shortages in this area.
There is nothing as useless degrees. It's an excuse for laziness and not willing to put yourself out there for volunteering and extra work.

I live in WA and work for the Dept of Education. Teachers get lots of benefits, may not be paywise but in other ways. An example of this is the Department of Education in WA pays for the teacher to be requalified in another area. They get their uni degree qualification paid for by the tax payer.

University degrees are scams. Even a decade ago, if you didn't score the university medal or good enough to be on the dean's list, you're nothing. When applying to graduate jobs, only about 10% of applicants usually get those jobs anyway. The rest have a hard life trying to score part time roles which are unrelated to their degrees. If you're good enough for first class honours, you might stay on to do a PhD and then on to an academic job, which probably explains why the professors are there in the first place, because they can't get jobs.
