First job
|
|
The first job, like first love, is a milestone in a young person’s
life. A great sense of accomplishment accompanies first time
employees, a vindication of the college diploma and a demonstration

Unfortunately, not too many university graduates
will find a job quickly or, getting one, may not be in the field he
trained for. Economists call this “structural unemployment,”
while businessmen and educators call it a “job mismatch.” Many
youths, who took up accounting, teaching, law or nursing, will find
out too late that their profession is overcrowded, or discover that
businesses are looking for other “critical” skills.

killings of criminal suspects—salvaging—happen in that place
with such worrying frequency.

NPA members
inspect AFP military camps
|
|
It is unbelievable but true that members and supporters of the New
People’s Army (NPA) are now given access by our courts to inspect
military camps simply by claiming that their colleagues (yes,
