future/job opportunities for undergrads

[nakikipost_po!!]

alam naman nating me krisis hinde lang ang pnas kungdi ang buong mundo.... mahirap maghanap ng trabaho para sa mga nakapagtapos. pano pa kaya para sa mga undergrads, tulad ng mga nakaiwan na lang ng thesis or ng 1 o 2 subjects? may pag-asa pa ba? may alam ba kayong kompanya o any opening na nag-a-accept ng undergrads at hindi super strict sa college degree?

Most sales organizations (insurance, et al) accept undergrads.

In addition- some IT companies who specialize in graphic design (ex: ImagineAsia) also accepts undergrads.

But in general- most companies have a policy to accept applicants who have already finished their degree.

Sometimes nga- kahit may degree ka na (o masters pa nga eh) mahirap maghanap ng trabaho.

BTW- the best course for those wh have not finished their degree IMHO is to finish it.

The second best option- put up your own biz- coz talagang babaratin ka ng employer mo pag undergrad ka, at very limited ang growth mo sa company (if any).

nakikipost_po,

there's always a future for undergrads, i have some friends who haven't finished their thesis yet but they work in (like what
corinthian mentioned) web design companies, call centers and some also work as admin people in companies. Like what i have always said before, companies don't like (in general) hiring undergrads because they also would like the person to finish schooling, there's always this mentality that when you start earning your own money, you tend to disregard work.

like what corinthian mentioned earlier, it's really hard to find a job right now...you really have to be assertive enough to push your marketability.

Right now, i can't think of a company who is actively looking for undergrads.

Indeed it is difficult to get a job these days since there are a lot of crisis here and abroad. Not to mention that even if you do get a job it may be a low paying job with a lot of workload.

But, what many people don't realize is that a job is not the only way to make money. There are a lot of businesses or sidelines that one can get into. You might think that you won't be able to do this since you're still an undergrad. But the saying goes "you'll never know if you don't try" and "fortune favors the brave".

Actually I'm also an undergrad, but I'll be graduating on June (that is, hopefully:D), but I've realized that I can't rely on just a job here to survive in this world and going abroad isn't exactly that easy. So I've decided to try getting sidelines and anyone who'd like to join me is welcome, just email me at sacristus@yahoo.com.
