<i>There are jobs to be had, but you keep getting rejected. Are employers expectations unrealistic or are university grads really ill-equipped for the real world?</i><p>Not unlike many BBC articles, this one begins with a question presenting a false dichotomy. Why are you being rejected? Perhaps there are simply more people seeking work than there are jobs, and that however &quot;well prepared&quot; you are, the probability of being chosen for any particular job is therefore lower.<p>Perhaps it&#x27;s a mixed blessing that our generation has faced such sobering difficulty in finding stable and meaningful employment. At some point as a result, our society might be prepared to recognize that the freer a market is, the less it guarantees a satisfactory way of life for its participants.
