KATE

“It’s crazy. You study so hard, you put in so much work and you

try everything you can possibly think of to get a job, but it just

doesn’t happen. I think higher education and the number of

students being accepted needs a complete overhaul. It’s an

economic concept, but surely the supply of students and the

demand of employers needs to be weighed up?”

Kate is from the United States, and as such has had a slightly

different experience in both the arena of study and finding

work. Kate studied for a Bachelor of Philosophy, intending to

graduate and go into a graduate program to get her PhD and

enter teaching at university level. The first obstacle Kate faced

was being accepted into a graduate school.
