“Students’ village” become the “workers’ village”VnMedia reporters met a lot of young people in the uniforms of construction workers when they visited the “students’ village” in Thao Dien Ward in District 2, HCM City one day.
It is called the “students’ village” because many students rent their rooms there. The young construction workers were once students of the HCM City University of Culture. What they have in common is that they graduated the university six months ago but they still cannot find jobs in the trained fields.
T. who comes from Thanh Hoa province in the central region, related that he finished the university half a year ago. However, he still cannot find any job with the degree of bachelor in culture management. T now has to work as a mason coolie at construction sites so as to be able to earn money to stay in HCM City. “I wish I can find a better job in the future,” he said.
Nguyen Thi Kim H also complained that she finished the same university more than one year ago, and she remains unemployed. Hien decided to attend a training course on accountancy, hoping that the new degree would help her find a job.
“However, both degrees are still useless. I still do not know what to do, to stay in the city or return to the home village,” H said. For the time being, H is working for a book store for which she gets the modest pay of 1.5 million dong a month.
There are many such “students’ villages” in HCM City. Trang, the owner of some rooms for rent in Thu Duc District related that her rooms were once rented by students. However, the village has become the “workers’ village”, because the students have graduated and they are now working as blue collar workers. Trang related that most of the students here are taking simple jobs which are not at all related to the fields they were trained in at university s. Some of them are working as construction workers, others are doing the marketing jobs for some companies or working in industrial zones.
Working and waiting
T related that he comes from Thanh Hoa, the province which has been seriously stricken by the violent flood. T never told his parents that he is working as a construction worker. “My parents had to spend a lot of money to fund my study, and I dare not tell them that their efforts were in vain,” he said.
Unlike T and H, Nguyen Trung M decided to return to Phu Yen province right after he finished Quy Nhon University. He once cherished the hope of becoming a teacher who can share knowledge with students. However, he has realized that the dream has become very distant, because he has not got any reply from the province’s education and training department for the last year.
“I heard that the Phu Yen province’s education department still has 600 CVs from applicants, and I realized that there will be no chance for me. I have decided to work as a carpenter and now I can make my first products,” he said.
According to Ta Duc An, a Lecturer of the Hanoi University of Culture, said that a lot of students cannot find jobs after they finish schools. Maybe the students are not capable enough to take new jobs, or they do not have necessary skills when applying for jobs, or the number of students finishing schools every year is higher than the demand in the society.
