Recession / Unemployment are definitely not new terms in dictionary, only relevant to the current age. These terms have definitely been perennial problems for generations and will continue to be, just masquerading in different economic terms and conditions. But yes, with the given current age / trend of colleges and universities budgeoning everyday (or , every few hours?), things are going to get worse. As for everything, the survival of the fittest is applicable for this issue / situation too. Mankind is known for adaptability right from genesis. For the job market, this is more applicable and relevant : It is about understanding that there is a fitment for you if you are ready to adapt / align yourself to the market needs. Also, we are taught right
from childhood to "earn" respectable degrees but not to hone skills we are good at. This adds to the problem. A person who is ambi-dexterous in playing a percussion instrument ends up being a coder. This is fine until he starts thinking that he can use the computer keyboard as a percussion instrument literally! But, this is (figuratively!) a viable way if he is ready to realize that it would take sometime for him to learn the nuances and play the waiting game diligently in the industry he wants to be and shine. But, it mostly is not the case, the concerned aspirant thinks his salary and perks need to be inline with his peers and need to sky-rocket right from day one because he has bench-marked himself against those candidates who have been consistent with academics right from school days. Common , you can "earn" degrees but you can't "earn" skills / consistency. This paranoia is what results in disappointment finally. Also, this desperation is a good "cycle-gap" for technical training institutes who charge exorbitant rates for technical training courses. The course fees is also not an issue here but just that the curriculums do not meet the needs of the software industry. The candidates are offered the so-called "job-assistance" bait and pity is that they fall for it too. Until you are ready to be-lied , quacks will continue to have a gala time. But, the bitter part is when the aspirants try to cash-in on their investment somewhere else. You can't blame them too because they are under tremendous pressure since there has been a lot of investment on them all through the years in the form of school / college education fees and then the technical course fees and they want to get back this investment as soon as possible. Literally job market aspirants are small businessmen trying to break-even on their investments. But, you can break-even only if you have the necessary skills to make a mark and then you can get what you want in the concerned industry. This completely is forgotten or lost in the commotion. This paranoia must be dealt-with through counselling by parents or teachers atleast until the next generation, when there is a chance to groom children in the area they are good at and honing skills over the years in that area rather than pressurizing children onto fields, they are not good at, because some x's child is earning a lot of money in that field. All through different phases of our life, we need to realize that a SWOT analysis is a bare necessity : know your strengths, improve your weaknesses then, sky is the limit. No situation is formidable if you have a clarity of thoughts coming through this SWOT analysis.
