Survey predicts brain drain will follow recession

Saturday, 4 April 2009

A new survey suggests this country will be hit with a brain drain because of the recession.

It shows that a fifth of students due to graduate this summer plan to emigrate because they cannot find work here.

This survey was carried out by the students union at UCC among a random sample of students at the college as well as Cork IT and Limerick University and Limerick IT.

Apart from showing that 20% planned to emigrate it showed that ninety per cent do not have employment lined up when they graduate.

Most were pessimistic for the future with a half feeling they had little chance of finding a job.

50% also indicated they intended to stay in education after graduation.

• Gritty, moving and heroic...Billy plays captured life here

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ... Sunday's 30th anniversary screening of the seminal Too Late to Talk to Billy was riveting viewing. But it wasn't nostalgic viewing.

• Parties need better defence in Stormont's game of two halves

Surprise, surprise. Peter Robinson has been to his first gaelic match, Martin McGuinness is heading for Windsor Park and the Ulster Unionists have scored another own goal.

• Why trying to go on a diet is never really a piece of cake

Some people make New Year’s resolutions, I make lists. Every new year I determine to keep track of everything I spend and everything I eat and drink.

• Scary movie? Their jaws were sore from laughing

Teenage boys love horror films and I have two who are in charge of the remote control in our house, so naturally there’s gore-a-plenty on the box most weekends. However, until recently one film was banned.
