The Australian Government’s Job Outlook site expects there will be over 886,000 more jobs by 2023, with over 90% of those new jobs requiring education beyond school (and by that, they mean beyond high school).

It’s no secret that uni degrees are the new normal for job seekers but, the truth is, jobs of the 21^st century usually demand a university education because they require more creativity, are more challenging, and involve less chimney soot than some of the cruddy jobs of yesteryear.
