University degrees cannot help graduates get good jobs

VietNamNet Bridge – A lot of young people eagerly return to their home villages after graduating from universities, hoping to devote themselves to the native land. However, in many cases, their noble intentions cannot be fulfilled, because they cannot find jobs.


Feeling confident with the university degree, LBD returned to Phu Yen province with the simple wish: becoming a literature teacher at a village school. Ignoring the invitation to work for an agency in HCM City, D decided to return to Phu Yen right after she finished the HCM City University of Education, hoping that she would be useful to the children in rural areas.

In fact, D was warned about the difficulties she would meet when looking for jobs in the home village, but she believed that her high qualifications would help her find a good job.

The brain and… the money

D has every reason to believe that she would be able to get a job at a village school. She graduated the university with excellent results. , She also wonseveral prizes for student scientific researchers while she was at university. She was also the member of the province’s team participating in the national competition for excellent students.

However, until now, one year after she submitted her CV to the local department of internalaffairs, she still has not received any reply regarding the job.

Meanwhile, a friend of D’s, who graduated Quy Nhon University of Education at “average level”, got the job as a high school teacher in the same province. The friend revealed that in order to get the job, she had to pay money, called the “underground money”.

Finally, D decided to leave her home village for HCM City, where she plans to continue studying at the HCM City University of Education. “I was just a redundant in my native land,” she complained.

BTH from Binh Phuoc province related that one year ago, she said “no” to the invitations to work in HCM City and decided to return to Binh Phuoc province after she graduated from the HCM City Economics University. However, she still cannot find a job here, in her home village.

The problem in Binh Phuoc, according to H, is that the information about recruitments is not made public. Sometimes H sees some advertisements prices on newspaper or television, but H never had enough time to submit her CV to the employers. In general, the deadlines for CV submission came just one day after the day the advertisement appears in newspapers.

University graduates work as blue collar workers?

NTH in Vinh City in central Vietnam related that she has decided to leave for Binh Duong province in the south where she will be a worker at a garment company, because she has run out of patience. Now she does not believe that she can ever find a good job in Vinh City, therefore, it would be better to leave to look for jobs herself.

Graduating from the journalism faculty of a big university, Huynh My Hien returned to Tay Ninh, wishing to work for a district ratio station. However, Hien was told that there was no vacancy for her.

After some time, Hien was given a job that she described as “very boring” at the department of propaganda and training. Just after two months of working, she decided to give up the boring job, though she could earn 900,000 dong a month.

As such, the path of seeking jobs and devoting themselves to native land sometimes is full of spikes and thorns.
