She also criticised the pressure on young people to become financially independent immediately after school. Other concerns included relying on connections for opportunities, fearing holidays because work may suffer in one’s absence, and the expectation that graduates must add skills, certificates, experience and contacts before they can find work. She argued that these pressures should not be accepted as normal.
