Undergraduate students expressed 'genuine concerns around the economic climate, their careers and future working life'
He said:"It supports me and allows me to do other things. I was able to go on a holiday this summer which as a student, when money is tight, I might not have been able to do otherwise. It will just help me boost that income since unfortunately it's a struggle to find those good salaries out there."Working part-time in a marketing job doesn't provide enough money for Natasha Birk who graduated from the University of Bath.
She told Sky News:"If you look at the national living wage people are getting out of bed for a lot less than £30,000. A degree may give you an academic background, but it doesn't actually give you the skills that you might need in that role. So if graduates want to have a side hustle to bring in that money, that's great, but they should not be expecting an employer to pay that salary because they'd lose out on margins.
She added:"25% on top of current salaries doesn't fit into the current economics. A lot of graduates are new to the workplace, so they'll need training and understand the business side of things. If they get that increase you'd have to increase the salaries of all the employees that were and that is not going to work for businesses economically. It's not a sustainable model.
