for example of a big country like the US, where the unemployment rate for graduates is 4,1% as of April 2023. meanwhile, in my country, it's 8,3% in the latest update. Some people might think there are a lot of unemployed folks because they didn't land recognized jobs, but the truth is they're still earning.

It could be because there is no recognition of the work they do so that people think the percentage of unemployment is very large and I myself also think so if I don't see the percentage like you shared. But there are times when this percentage is not completely accurate, such as poverty percentage data which is often released by the government and it could be that the percentage input taken does not cover the entire human population.

When you decide to pursue education solely for the purpose of getting a job, it seems like a template followed by many, sorry if I see it as a realistic robot-like approach. I prefer someone who learns with the aim of gaining knowledge and lets jobs that require knowledgeable individuals come to them.

There is nothing wrong with people's approaches and thinking patterns like that, but what I mean is that education is not a strong reason for people to get a decent job like they want because there are many people working in sectors that were not in demand before. But slowly they start to enjoy it because there are not much better opportunities in other sectors to work. Education is a place to gain knowledge and work requires skills and will provide opportunities for those who have skills.

Make the company apply to you, not you who apply to the company. This is the level where you will truly have more value than the average person.

This depends on how the company sees the individual and skill should be a strong reason to choose us, not because they have had higher education which is their reference in assessing them.

People pursue education means basically to have a better life, but then better life is defined as having better paid job. the thing about having higher degree of education will make you get a better paid job is only applied in developed countries, because other than those countries, they have no systems to direct graduated students to have the jobs that aligned with their degrees.

more companies choose experienced employers rather than educated employers. this is the situation that creates stigma than education wont guarantee a better paid job, and that education is just a choice, not necessity.
