While I agree with the second part of that statement I must take issue with 
the first. I don't know the people you're talking about but I can honestly 
say that I do not know of a single person who's left Uni in the last 6-7 
years degree qualified in a discipline such as Engineering or Comp SCi or 
maybe having a Masters in IT that has remained unemployed for longer than a 
month or so.

*gasp.... long sentence, nevermind, it's late*

I'm really trying here... although I obviously don't know all graduates 
personally I'm thinking of everyone I know that has graduated since 1995 or 
so and I can't think of anyone who's unemployed or working outside of their 
field. I chose 1995 as it's fairly recent, I graduated in 1987.

If you're a graduate of a decent course you will not be waiting on tables 
in 6 months....can't say the same for the Arts students though  :)
