Half of pupils plan to work abroad after graduation
Third level students are so concerned about job prospects in Ireland that half of them are planning to travel abroad to work once they graduate, a new survey reveals.
Only 58pc claim to have any confidence in getting a job at home related to their qualification within six months of graduating.
They don't see this situation getting any better, with more than three in four agreeing that future graduates may also have to seek employment abroad.
The survey, on behalf of Halifax, showed that half (51pc) of Irish students are finding college life unaffordable.
