:18:55. > :19:00.you hear on the news, the economy is going to get better and there is
:19:00. > :19:05.going to be more jobs. What about student debt? Is it something you
:19:05. > :19:09.have given a lot of thought to that you are frustrated about? I am
:19:09. > :19:14.frustrated about that, speaking to others in London, I know they're
:19:14. > :19:18.not going to make money, they are just going to cover their costs,
:19:18. > :19:24.the cost of accommodation, it is just phenomenal. They are not going

:19:29. > :19:33.Students here leave university with a debt, on average, of �15,000. The
:19:33. > :19:41.Universities Minister says that is why the executive has decided to
:19:41. > :19:45.freeze fees and �3,500 a year to continue their education. I think
:19:45. > :19:50.he executive sends a signal that we value our younger people, we value
:19:50. > :19:54.higher education, we want them to stay in Northern Ireland and build
:19:54. > :19:57.their careers there. Despite that reassurance from government, money

:20:13. > :20:19.what you have spent on your education become for you at the
:20:19. > :20:24.moment? Well, I am thousands of pounds in debt, at the minute, and
:20:24. > :20:28.I'm not making enough money to start paying it back. So God knows
:20:28. > :20:31.when that will happen, I will have to get a job first before I can
:20:31. > :20:37.start paying it back. I think I will just be in debt for the rest
:20:37. > :20:45.of my life. Can you put any kind of figure, the kind of debt you have
:20:45. > :20:49.amassed? Between 15,000 to �20,000 in debt. I am terrified that I
:20:49. > :20:53.don't have a job, so I can't really start worrying about those issues,
:20:53. > :20:57.as far as pensions and property ladders are concerned, that seems
:20:57. > :21:03.to me like a trip to the moon, that is a long way off for me yet. I

:21:08. > :21:14.question? I would still go back and do it all over again, I absolutely
:21:14. > :21:18.love my degree. I think it was �20,000 well spent. I just put it
:21:18. > :21:24.to the back of my mind and forget it until I am earning money, then I
:21:24. > :21:28.will think about it. With fewer jobs now available, graduates are
:21:28. > :21:33.increasingly taking the work that less qualified school leavers would
:21:33. > :21:37.have expected to get in the past. Indeed there is a knock-on effect,
:21:37. > :21:41.what we are seeing now is people who would have started in the
:21:41. > :21:44.supermarket or the bar, they feel very squeezed, because they simply
:21:44. > :21:48.cannot get employment. The people who would previously have got that

:21:54. > :21:58.on effect. Even longer term, those graduates start to tell brothers or
:21:58. > :22:01.sisters, all their children, their experience, and that can feed
:22:01. > :22:08.through into disillusionment with education probably don't think it
:22:09. > :22:12.is worth the investment. If you think of it from the employer's
:22:12. > :22:17.perspective, faced with a 50 children applying for a job, they
:22:17. > :22:22.will automatically gravitate towards the most qualified one, so
:22:22. > :22:27.it is difficult to see that employers could be encouraged to
:22:27. > :22:32.choose the lower skilled above the higher skilled. Emma, you have got
:22:32. > :22:36.your degree and you were saying you work part-time in a DIY store, so
:22:36. > :22:40.your degree is of no relevance as far as that is concerned. Do you
:22:40. > :22:45.think you're keeping someone else out of the job who would be
:22:45. > :22:52.perfectly capable of doing the job you are doing? Well, I had started
:22:52. > :22:55.at job before I took the degree, I have been there three years.
:22:55. > :23:01.Obviously, I might be keeping somebody from that job, but I need
:23:01. > :23:05.a job as well, as anybody else. there are concerned that time of
:23:05. > :23:08.the job people without degrees might have done, like working in a
:23:08. > :23:11.supermarket or doing bar work, isn't available because graduates
:23:11. > :23:19.who cannot find jobs in line with what they have studied are looking
:23:19. > :23:25.for that kind of employment? I used to work in a shop where... It was
:23:25. > :23:31.just work experience, everyone there had a degree. It was just a
:23:31. > :23:35.normal shop, grocery shop. Do you think it is more difficult now to
:23:35. > :23:41.do what you want to do than it would have been a few years ago?
:23:41. > :23:45.Definitely. I was 16, just left school, but got a job and a call
:23:46. > :23:51.centre by clicking my fingers. It was a phone interview. Now I cannot
:23:51. > :23:54.even get an interview. It is weird, what you're saying is you are being
:23:54. > :24:00.turned down for jobs because you don't have a degree, whereas I am
:24:01. > :24:03.because I do have a degree. At the reality is that a young person that
:24:03. > :24:10.the degree is around twice as likely to be unemployed as someone
:24:10. > :24:13.with a degree. As dramatic as the figures might be in terms of youth
:24:13. > :24:17.unemployment, the figures show that for graduates, there prospect of
:24:17. > :24:22.having a job and sustaining a job are higher than those who don't
:24:23. > :24:25.access Higher Education, so even though people are coming out with
:24:25. > :24:31.degrees, there really is strong evidence that suggests you are far
:24:31. > :24:35.better off considering going into higher education or equivalent.
:24:35. > :24:40.would be wrong to think there is no hope of the today's young people. I
:24:40. > :24:50.am on my way to catch up with Emma, who is in the process of moving to
:24:50. > :24:52.
:24:53. > :24:56.set up a new online newspaper. Emma will run the paper's marketing and
:24:56. > :25:00.support herself with another part- time job. It happened really
:25:00. > :25:04.quickly, but I'm really excited about it, because we have been
:25:05. > :25:09.focused on trying to get appear so we could work on it, so it has been
:25:09. > :25:15.a really quick transition, but to do something I have wanted and we
:25:15. > :25:20.have been planning to wards. Perhaps ironically, one of the
:25:20. > :25:25.paper's most popular features is a section dedicated to Newry's lost
:25:25. > :25:29.generation. What of the people you have spoken to said about their
:25:29. > :25:34.experience? It is basically called Newry's lost generation, it is
:25:34. > :25:42.about each person who has left Newry, they're pretty much our age
:25:42. > :25:47.bracket, and they are all leaving, they are in Canada, Australia, even
:25:47. > :25:51.some have gone to Bangkok and different places. What are your
:25:51. > :25:57.hopes of what the newspaper could become? What is the potential?
:25:57. > :26:01.have worked it out that if we had a full advertising budget, everyone
:26:01. > :26:05.advertising with us, we could potentially make a decent salary,
:26:05. > :26:13.it wouldn't be grade, but it would be above the national minimum wage.
:26:13. > :26:21.Enough to live on. If this venture ultimately isn't a success, would
:26:21. > :26:26.you go? Yes. Whether it be Canada or Australia, will definitely not
:26:26. > :26:30.be staying. As for our other young jobseekers, Adam has four months
:26:30. > :26:36.left on his course, at the end of which he is hoping to get a job as
:26:36. > :26:39.a specialist pastry chef. And as for Jamie Kidd, who emigrated to
:26:39. > :26:49.New Zealand in search of a better start in life, we caught up with
:26:49. > :26:55.
:26:55. > :26:59.him up with the help of modern Hello. How are you? I am good. You
:26:59. > :27:09.have had about a week. Are you optimistic he will find a job
:27:09. > :27:09.
:27:09. > :27:18.What about missing your folks back home? We know your mum was pretty
:27:18. > :27:26.upset in particular. Do you think you have done the right been going
:27:26. > :27:36.to New Zealand? -- of the right thing? Had it all works out. All
:27:36. > :27:45.
:27:45. > :27:48.We are entrepreneurs, innovators, and they are going away. The key
:27:48. > :27:52.difficulty for Northern Ireland is they cannot see any prospect of
:27:52. > :27:57.coming back, so we lose those skills, and we lose the
:27:57. > :28:04.intelligence they have gained. is a danger the executive is
:28:04. > :28:08.determined to avoid. Whether you go to Great Britain or the south, or
:28:08. > :28:16.anywhere, the message is, please come back and invest your feature
:28:16. > :28:21.in the Northern Ireland economy. But will there be a future?
:28:21. > :28:26.Ultimately, they will face a challenging environment, such is
:28:26. > :28:29.the nature of the competitively global world. In the face of all
:28:29. > :28:34.the progress we can see around us, it is extraordinary that we should
