Is there hope?
I’m currently an unemployed graduate with extensive education. Growing up I thought that getting a degree would set you up for success, even better if you pursue post graduate education. It seems we were sold a lie. Youth unemployment is insanely high, the cost of living is unbearable, and it’s really taking a toll on my generation.
I feel like the government didn’t plan for us and set us up for failure. At this point I’m considering relocation. I love South Africa, but survival is becoming harder. I hope things can turn around.
