As Singaporean university students graduate, they may discover that it isn’t that easy to get a job.
On Friday (28 Jun), All Singapore Stuff reposted a picture showing a picture of a woman making that point.
In the photo, a girl is clad in university robes holding a cutout saying “Job Wanted” at Raffles Place.
If you found the photo strangely familiar, here’s why.
Elizabeth Boon, an influencer and NUS graduate, did this in 2016 for her graduation photoshoot and her pictures went viral.
So what are netizens saying about this new photo?
The older generation tends to berate youth about their entitlement, and this post sparked the same reactions as the one in 2016.
In response to the post, one netizen labelled her “strawberry” — a term that suggests today’s youth can’t handle hardships.
Another netizen also gave us insight as to why graduates are ‘unable’ to find jobs.
Finally, one netizen says that youngsters must learn how to handle the ‘grind’ and ‘hustle’ in order to get what they want.
In the past when Singapore was experiencing tremendous growth, people had to fight extremely hard for what they wanted.
This meant that some of the older Singaporeans adopted a ‘commando-like’ mindset to keep fighting regardless of their situations.
This could be why they have a harder time understanding why youths today have such high expectations.
