Wednesday, 28 November 2012
The jobs market is very tight now such that students and job seekers who need to take courses or retrain for other skill sets find out hard to know which direction to take.

From the Swedish perspective though, some education or training courses will ultimately lead to a working career because there are shortages of personnel in those areas. In others, it is almost a waste of time to pursue.
