Career start

One year from now, I hope that I have gotten a foothold in an engineering company and thereby can begin to build up my experience in the industry. Right now it seems quite difficult to get a chance for the competition is murderous. But I feel like it's getting more and more jobs out there that can be queried and the chance to get a job should also increase. At first, I think you may take the jobs you can get and then take a step towards what you really want.

Now it seems that your chances is quite few, as the employer’s will go for the more experienced ones and not the "freshman" that you are, it feels a bit locked in a way. I think that the government should encourage much more economical to employ young people to facilitate. It is the employer's market now, as they say. I suppose they have a lot to pick from which is good for them.

However, the future looks bright for us engineers if you believe what the media says. Many engineers will retire and hopefully make way for us young engineers. The future for economists, pharmacists, etc. didn’t look very promising as it’s expected to be a surplus of labor in their fields. If it would turn out as predicting, it is probably important to be really passionate about what you do. I wish the best of luck but on the other hand people have turn out to be totally wrong before and Sweden isn’t the only country in the world that you can work in.

Maybe someone can enlighten me about this: Are there any regulations on the number of places on a program depending on how the future looks like or is it just how popular the education is?
