The university system is failing our young. A culture of irresponsibility within higher education has created conditions where the job market is being flooded with graduates seeking jobs in industries which do not need them.
Salaries for graduates are falling, as the rate of employment for graduates is falling off a cliff.
The culture of irresponsibility in higher education begins with the simple fact that too many people are going to university who probably shouldn't be.
In 1950, one in every 267 Australian adults went to university. Today the figure is one in every 18 adults (including international students). Across Australia, around 1.2 million people are studying for a Bachelor's degree or higher
