I am learning so much from reading everyone's take on what we've been taught.Ijeoma Uche-Okekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04719584212904035171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891389897630360380.post-89673504657195436502007-04-17T06:13:00.000-07:002007-04-17T06:13:00.000-07:00Valentin,Could not have said it better my self.

There are a few researchers (e.g. Torben Drewes, Associate Professor of Economics, Trent University, Peterborough, Ontario) who have found that while we Humanities and Social Sciences postgraduates may battle to enter the workplace initially, things do get better for us.<BR/><BR/>Drewes found that Humanities and Social Sciences postgraduates over the age of 45 actually experienced significantly fewer weeks of unemployment over the survey period (5.4 weeks vs. 9 weeks for the applied grads). A similar story holds true for wages where hourly wage rates for both genders with Humanities and Social Science degrees catch up and then overtake those of their applied counterparts in the over 45 year old age group.<BR/><BR/>It must be the critical thinking skills that give us the advantage! <BR/><BR/>Only thing is… how do we market our critical thinking skills, so that we Humanities and Social Sciences postgraduates become sought after?Lesley Emanuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13937540814236647737noreply@blogger.com
