10 reasons why this is the best time to become a graduate?
With all the gloom laden talk you hear about the challenges of student employment and getting a job out of uni we thought it was worth putting some thought into the brighter side of being a graduate today.
In our view there has never been a better time to start out in a career for at least the following reasons
- Technology is spurring creativity and opening new opportunities for everyone to do more amazing things
- More interesting jobs than ever before as most of the admin and routine work has been automated out
- Able to progress faster than ever before as age has become less of a discriminator for progression. If you are good enough you are old enough.
- More global than ever and more careers offer the ability to be international
- Careers are no longer seen as linear. It is ok to take a break. It is ok to do something new.
- You can make a small idea big, all great things start at the margin which is where you are when you start out
- The new crafts around digital are more important than ever and you are best placed to master them
- More opportunities than ever to be famous and to get more people to listen to your big ideas
- Organisations are genuinely engaged in dealing with social problems
- You have access to the best information ever and unbelievable opportunities for free learning from the web
This is as good a time as any to take on the world and make great things happen.
