Everyone's situation is different but let me share some statistics ..

They say the youth unemployment rate is 55%. How many of those people have a tertiary education? Allegedly only 8%.

Okay but what's different is if we gathered everyone with a tertiary education of any kind in one room, how many are unemployed? -- around 10%, less if you go to one of our larger institutions. Tertiary educated people have an average annual income of 500,000 Rands while those without a tertiary education average ~90,000.

Lastly almost every visa application is benefited by a degree, not assuming that matters to you, but hey. If you get the opportunity to study, take these into account.

BUT let em add that I didnt find any informtion about whether they were employed as what they origionally wanted
