After watching the video, my takeaways are:
-you have to be willing to move to where the work is
-do research into what the job prospects are for the field you choose
-choose professions you know there is a demand for
That Ontario example of a 60 per cent unemployment rate for new teachers doesn't surprise me. What surprises me is that people pursue it, knowing this. That one guy, has been a substitute teacher for nine years and delivers pizza on the side.
The girl in the documentary has a urban geology degree. You're not exactly going to have employers lining up to hire you. If she is willing to move to Alberta she will likely find a job pretty quick. Land-use planning is a big part of the government's priority due it's wealth of natural resources.
And the other girls she works with. One has a history degree and the other, a modern European studies degree. Job prospects just aren't there.
