Even Frankfurt School graduates worry about finding work
At a career fair at Frankfurt School in Germany, students sought internships and jobs with major employers.
One of them, 24-year-old master’s graduate Louisa Tröger, said she felt that few opportunities were open to her.
The school is a leading business school, and some students pay up to €44,000 for a master’s degree.
Yet students described feeling uncertain about their career prospects as they approached the start of working life.
A representative at Landesbank Baden-Württemberg told Tröger that the bank had twice as many applications as the year before.
The contrast matters because even highly qualified students with access to employer networks are worried about getting started.
The account gives no further details about what students will do next.
