With big accountancy and finance firms turning to tech rather than graduates, even those with ‘useful’ degrees find their prospects diminishedConnor Myers is a student at the University of Exeter and an intern on the Guardian’s positive action schemeSeptember is the beginning of many young people’s lives, as cars speed along motorways transporting 18- and 19-year-olds to their new university accommodations. I remember my own journey down to Exeter in 2022, the first stage in what I hoped would be an experience to set me up for the rest of my life.

She does not have much faith in the government. Continue reading...
