5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
2007 students gaining postgraduate diplomas or postgraduate certificates in electronic/computer engineering had one of the lowest levels of success in gaining full time employment by the time of the survey, with 5 percent not working and looking for full time employment, and another 10 percent in part-time or casual work while they seek a 'proper' job. Education (15.3 percent, and there's supposed to be a teacher shortage!), visual/performing arts (26.7 percent), and humanities (15.6 percent) were the only subject areas with higher levels of underemployment and unemployment, excluding subjects with small numbers of students. Computer scientists did better, with 11.8 percent looking for full time employment, but this was still worse than the 9.3 percent average across the entire cohort. Does a higher degree such as a masters make a difference? See page two. |
