Re: The job market …

I do not think so.

At one end due to lack of job opportunities as well pathetic status of our education system. We are facing problem at both end.

The young are not finding jobs and resort to crimes (that explains all time high street crimes in Pakistani cities).

On employers prospective, there is big shortage of quality peoples. I found those who are really good (but they need to be lucky to get their first job in the first job), i have colleagues went on to become regional and country head of companies like HP and Intel.

I have seen so many talented young man earning good money in Pakistan as privet corporations are having difficulty finding quality peoples.

I must say that my experience is limited to IT industry.

Recently my daughter (who is working with a IT major) meet her colleague from Pakistan and surprise when lady shared that she is earning about 500K every month. She told her that financial sector is paying even more then that.

the education system there is indeed pathetic.
