46% of Ireland’s graduates are in jobs unrelated to their qualification, according to research. When it came to securing their current job, only 13% said that their qualification alone was instrumental in landing the role.
The survey, entitled Education vs. Experience, which was undertaken by Matrix Recruitment to examine the correlation between third-level education and career choice, found that 49% regretted third level course choice and wished they had chosen a different course.
