Academic Decline in Universities (3): Job Prospects

     Another demotivating factor is poor job prospects. Quite a lot of university students don't see promising job prospects ahead of them. They see that thousands of university graduates are jobless and thousands of others are not working in their field of study. Therefore, they see no point in studying hard or doing research. They only learn by memorization. They cram too many facts into their heads; as a result, their knowledge is superficial and they can't put their knowledge into practice. They are only concerned about obtaining a degree. They become degree-oriented and their main concern is to get a degree and enter the job market as soon as possible, but when this happens they are bitterly disappointed. They realize they have neither the qualifications nor the practical experience to work effectively.
