Generation Y hits the wall

Hard work pays off, a phrase that the majority of society has had drummed into them from a young age, as quite rightly, it is a good motto to live by. Yet, if you believe everything you read it is something Generation Y leaves in their bedroom, along with their manners, ambition and determination. Obviously, some of Generation Y are the embodiment of the media’s stereotype, much to my disgust, yet the majority are trying to get somewhere in life but are currently hitting a large brick wall; the recession. The Association of Graduate Recruiters (AGR) has just released a report that found on average 48 graduates are chasing one job; there are 25% fewer jobs than last year, which is a lot less than the initial prediction of 5%. No wonder the graduate job market seems over-crowded!
