“Getting the best grades would get you into uni…”
“…That would get you a good job. This would lead to a high salary that you can use to buy a house and ‘live the Australian dream’.”

We’re back to square one, needing a second degree and work experience to distinguish ourselves from the rest of the graduating class that also has degrees. You still won’t find a job because the market is so saturated with people just like you with the same qualification and amount of experience.”
