英大学生面临工作荒无奈从事底薪职业_第2页

　　尽管结果令人担忧，但事实如此：今年夏天毕业生们将面临前所未有的债务危机，一般学生需要为三年学业偿还18100英镑的借款。在伦敦某些地区，该项债务金额高达25700英镑。

　　 It comes despite fears that graduates are facing record levels of debt this summer, with the average student being forced to repay £18,100 for a three year course. Debts rise to £25,700 in parts of London.

　　人们将“工作荒”归咎于最近几年大学毕业生失业人数的日积月累，这也使得2010的就业形势雪上加霜。

　　The jobs shortage was blamed on a “substantial backlog” in the number of jobless graduates from previous years – creating additional pressure on the employment market in 2010.

　　研究人员表示，由于学生们希望在竞争中能够抢先一步，因此，截止到去年十月末，一些大型企业已额外收到8000多份求职申请。

　　Researchers said 8,000 extra job applications had been made to leading companies by the end of October as students attempted to steal a march on competitors.

受经济危机影响，许多大学生愿意从事低薪工作。

　　同时有消息披露，数以千计的学生准备攻读硕士学位，以此来回避就业问题。统计数字显示，约26%的学生选择在今年毕业后继续在学校深造。

　　It was also disclosed that thousands of students are preparing to take a postgraduate course as an alternative to finding a job. Some 26 percent of students will remain in higher education after completing degrees this year, figures show.

　　该研究显示，36%的学生确信今夏离校后，他们将开始毕业后的第一份工作，或开始寻觅一份这样的工作。

　　According to the study, 36 percent of students believe they will start a graduate job – or start looking for one – when they leave university this summer.

　　而在人文艺术专业学生中，这一数字暴跌至25%。

　　Numbers slump to 25 percent among arts and humanities students.

　　该研究表明，学生总数中有约26%的人准备攻读硕士学位，相比之下，有1/3的学生表示一旦被雇主录用，无论什么工作都可以做。

　　Some 26 per cent of all students are preparing to move on to postgraduate courses, while a third will take “any job they are offered”, the study said.

　　这也表明大多数学生将在商场、咖啡店、呼叫中心以及建筑工地上从事低薪职业，所学专业却长期没有用武之地。

　　This suggests large numbers of students will embark on low-paid jobs in shops, cafes, call centres and building sites – failing to use their degree for many years.
