Education does not always mean skill. Nor does it mean a person will gain experience because of said education. It's also a two way street. Many of this generation have an inflated sense of entitlement. They deserve a job, or so they think. I get that it's hard to get a first job, but it was the same for the rest of us. I get that putting your nose to the grindstone isn't the easier, and probably not the best, way to get a career going, but it still works.

There's a lack of work in Vancouver. The economy sucks and the work simply isn't here. I left Vancouver because of that. The older generation at work who were going to retire simply didn't because of the economy crashing. They stuck on to try to make up the difference in their pension or rrsp's, or whatever reason it is they stick around. I moved to Edmonton. Not my first choice, but in doing so, I increased my income by almost 90%. There's work. There's places that will hire right off the street, only requirement being a pulse.

When you're that young and you have zero chance of starting a job or a career where you are, you have to look at the other options. Maybe a change of province. Maybe time to look at a different field. I can certainly appreciate that they chose their degree to major in and they'd like to use it, but if the work isn't there, the work isn't there.
