Most people go to university expecting it to give them tremendous benefit when looking for a job, but the reality of the situation is rarely so clear cut. It comes down to the subject you’ve taken and where you’ve taken it; how broadly applicable are the skills you’ve learnt? Does the course offer good reviews from business leaders? Are there a lot of jobs pertaining to the specific subject you’ve undertaken? All of these are questions you should ask yourself when looking for a job. Or better yet, you should ask them before you’ve taken your course, as it will give you a more realistic impression of what value you’re getting for the 3-4 years you’ll end up putting into getting you’re degree.

It is important, as a recent graduate, that you manage your expectations: don’t go out expecting to get an amazing job right off the bat, and don’t be condescending to offers for work when they are few and far between.
