The “good jobs” of the past are almost gone. Today, many university graduates face unemployment while others face underemployment. Professors Ken Coates and Bill Morrison explore the death of the “good job,” and the role that universities have played in the disconnect between career fantasies and realities.

What to Consider If You're Considering University
If you listen to the general chatter from parents, guidance counsellors, and politicians, you would think that going to university is the only option that ensures future success. That's no longer true. This book is designed to help anyone under thirty make the best possible educational and career choices.
