Re: The UK trained thousands of doctors, then told them: sorry, no jobs

I think we should not blame only UK government for such situation to be. Those who were studying for years, why didnt they make a little research while studying, where they are going to work later? During years of studying, students must have had practice. They should have noticed that something is wrong, not as they were promised with job sector. They could have taken a hard decision to drop studying and choose other profession. Instead they blindly continued and now demand jobs. Those doctors can always go abroad. I am sure they will be welcomed and there are many countries that need professional doctors.
Maybe I have been attending medical school for course for four years. Then I discovered that there are no jobs for me after graduation. It will not be easy to drop out of medical school to pursue another field. Do you know that some of these students took loans to finance their education? Many of these doctors would simply move out of the country to where they are needed after graduation.
The UK don't lack jobs for doctors. The problem is that the pay is poor compared to other countries. This is why the government prefer to hire foreign workers who are always willing to accept low salaries under poor working conditions. While UK-trained doctors prefer to move to other countries that offer better packages.
I think its person duty to monitor job and salary market while he study. I think only a fool person will study till the end, if during studies he finds out that it is hard to find job or it pays less than other jobs.
Not every job in medicine is paid poor. But if you know that you will earn little, then what is the reason to continue study till the end or start to study at all? A person must think about his future. When I applied for university, I have made a little research, asked people how much they earn, checked applications of some companies that I planned to apply. Find out my possible duties, salary and etc. I think that is right thing to do, then choose university to study, then complain that there are not job or they are badly paid.
