What good is a university education to graduates who can’t get work?

I STRONGLY support the views expressed by Nuala Nolan from Galway (Letters, August 6) in which she asked why there were no adequate job opportunities for graduates?

As millions of euro are being poured into our so-called knowledge economy, why is the value of third-level education not realised in good jobs afterwards?

Thousands of Irish academics with MAs and PhDs are employed in contract university jobs for three months and are told they are lucky to have this work.
