Como diz o Paulo Querido, em Portugal não vai ser diferente, - TopicsExpress



          

Como diz o Paulo Querido, em Portugal não vai ser diferente, apesar dos cantos das sereias. Há que colocar esta questão no centro do debate político e social. A lawyer. A computer scientist. A military analyst. A teacher. What do these people have in common? They are trained professionals who cannot find full-time jobs. Since 2008, they have been tenuously employed - working one-year contracts, consulting on the side, hustling to survive. They spent thousands on undergraduate and graduate training to avoid that hustle. They eschewed dreams - journalism, art, entertainment - for safer bets, only to discover that the safest bet is that your job will be contingent and disposable. Unemployed college graduates are told that their predicament is their own fault. They should have chosen a more practical major, like science or engineering, and stayed away from the fickle and loathsome humanities. The reality is that, in the jobless recovery, nearly every sector of the economy has been decimated. Companies have turned permanent jobs into contingency labour, and entry-level positions into unpaid internships. Changing your major will not change a broken economy.
