The video "Generation Jobless" brought many important facts about careers and the future for our generation. How we may not even get a job when graduating from a prestige University/College, but we may even have a lower chance of getting hired! Canada has one of the best education systems in the world, but we have a high youth unemployment.
The reason behind this was stated in the video, and that reason was lack of job experience. It seems that getting a diploma doesn't mean as much as it use to and that it's harder to to find a job in your career path. Many people do not realize this especially the older generation who call us the lost generation. The older generations are also the cause of our plight considering they are still taking our needed jobs to pay off their debt and mortgage which they should have done in their time. This has become even worst since it seems that the government increasing the age of retirement. Which will cause the older generation to seek out jobs and will find them easier than us considering that many employers are looking for more job experienced employees. It just shows how bad people are in need of jobs especially when we have to compete with a generation that has more experience than us the younger generation.
Not all Country's are facing what we are, for instance Sweden. Sweden has an unemployment rate of just 2.6% in all of Sweden that's amazing. Sweden has made up in their lack of resources with their young generation and guiding them into a better job filled future. They are able to choose whether to go to a apprenticeship or just study for University, but they are still able to go to University even if they lose interest in what they're doing at it would barely affect them since they already have hands on experience. Sadly Canada's education system is not like this and doesn't allow such flexibility.
For me when watching this video it really got me thinking and wondering what the future holds for our generation and if we'll even be able to find any sort of job. It really gets you depressed and frustrated since we may not even get jobs when graduating from a University/College. Hopefully many from this generation will be able to find a good sustaining job to last them if not well I suppose the next generation will have to compete with us.
