Many people worry about how they are going to find work following completion of an educational course such as a degree, loss of a previous job or returning to work following a break in employment.
Recent research suggests that there has been a huge increase in employability anxiety over recent years and this hits students more so than other groups of people. Often students rack up a lot of debt whilst working towards their degree or qualification. Once they have completed this, they need to try and find work as soon as possible so that they can start earning a living. Although you will not have to pay back student loans until you are earning over a certain amount, if you have personal debts such as credit cards or loans, you will need to ensure you are making the payments towards these immediately.
Students often describe the feeling of employment anxiety as a knot in their stomach to a full blown anxiety attach with leaves them struggling for breath and feeling extremely over whelmed. Building a support network at university can really help. You will probably have a good number of your friends who are feeling exactly the same and sometimes just talking about it can make the situation seem a lot better.
